I thank the Minister. By way of a supplementary question, when is it expected that the impact of this provision will be visible and available to commuters who use the stations to which we already referred, that is, Maynooth, Leixlip Confey, Celbridge, Hazelhatch, Sallins, and Newbridge? Right now, the traffic, made up of people who are ordinarily ready to accept the use of rail services, is being forced onto the roads which are heavily over-trafficked and in need of upgrading. To what extent is progress being made to bring about the earliest possible date?

The Minister has indicated when this is expected. Could we send a message to the providers or the manufacturers with a view to possibly accelerating the speed at which provision is to be made?
