I ask the Minister to comment on the estimate that 20% of his Department's expenditure relates to public transport. Does he intend to increase this percentage in light of the existing deficits in public transport provision and the ongoing need to reduce car use to comply with our emissions obligations? Does he intend to increase spending on public service obligation routes and service frequency? Does he intend to announce any new railway projects, including new railway lines, outside the greater Dublin area? What level of increase in the public transport budget is he seeking in budget 2020?
