Marc MacSharry: That is something that needs to be out there in terms of those kind of costs because Aer Lingus, Ryanair and various others will be queueing to come in to us. It is important that we know there is going to be X increase to them and what they are going to be getting for that. There needs to be a payback. The sense from the very basic research I have done is that there is pushback. Whoever...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: General Scheme of the Air Navigation and Transport Bill 2019: Discussion (10 Jul 2019)
Marc MacSharry: Would it be possible to put a bit more flesh on the costs? There is a cost implication to how it is going to play out and it would be useful for the committee members who, from a standing start, want to be advocates for something that is going to be positive, if in fact it is positive. We just do not have all the tools at this point to be able to embrace it credibly.

Marc MacSharry: That is no problem but how long is a piece of string? Is it €6 million or €100 million or what? As we have seen, sadly, from so many other examples, we are better knowing this than Mr. Gallagher being next door at another committee with Deputy Catherine Murphy and I beating him up over it in a few months' time. I do not want to delay the meeting and I am only getting to know...

Marc MacSharry: Is the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport aware of the considerable capacity issues being experienced across the entire rail network, from the commuter towns to Dublin and other major cities, and on intercity lines?

Marc MacSharry: The "live horse and get grass" approach is not working for us. The Minister says he expects a business case shortly. There is an administrative merry-go-round from the board of Irish Rail to the NTA, the Department, the Minister and Cabinet. What sort of timelines are we looking at? It will take 18 months to make rolling stock available for use after it is ordered. My understanding is...
