I asked one straightforward question which was not answered. Does the report in this morning's edition of The Irish Timesalign with the Minister's understanding of the proposal based on his meetings with the NTA and TII? That question deserves an answer. Many people in the northside have been waiting in anticipation of this project for two to three decades. It seems we are at an impasse and there is a need for clarity. I opened my statement by welcoming the clarity in this matter and now I am opening my supplementary remarks by asking for clarity. I would genuinely appreciate some clarity on this matter.

Deputy Lahart named 11 areas for alternative routes, which are uncosted and untested. The Minister correctly noted previously that these routes simply do not have the population density to justify a metro project.
