Paul McAuliffe: There have been several question and answers back and forward on the tenancy issue. Perhaps Ms Timmons will write to the committee.

- Public Accounts Committee: Transport Infrastructure Ireland: Financial Statements 2020 (3 Feb 2022)
Paul McAuliffe: It is no surprise that I will ask Mr. Walsh about both the metro and the Luas given that we are probably one of the only constituencies in Dublin that does not have a fixed-line rail running through it.
