I will start by responding to Deputy Heydon. I appreciate the disparity in prices between Newbridge and Sallins he mentioned. As is so often the case, I am not responsible for setting the prices from one station to another and cannot do anything directly to alter the prices that are set by others.

I will, however, pass on to the NTA the Deputy's point on prices, which seems very reasonable and fair.

In answer to Deputy Lawless, overcrowding on commuter trains and commuter DART and Luas trains is not new. It is regrettable-----
