Could we have a timeline on the report? Can the obstacle produced by the DUP by not allowing an Executive to be in place and Ministers to be in their roles doing the necessary jobs for the people be avoided?
Beyond that, I ask the Minister for an update on the rail plans for Dublin, Belfast and beyond to Cork, including electrification. We are still operating on the same timeline in respect of the rail ticketing system, which is obviously necessary from the point of view of producing a tax saver ticketing system. The system operates for people who are now remote working and may only work two or three days a week. There has been a major issue with trying to deliver this and it appears that only a new ticketing system will address it.
