Vote 20 - An Garda Síochána (26 Jun 2025) Grace Boland: In the couple of the minutes of left, I will also turn to chapter 6. In reading it, it feels like work needs to be done here on due diligence, including recording the rationale for the various different decisions as to why some events were fully abated and some were not. As the Comptroller and Auditor General has highlighted, it is important for transparency. Some of these are run by...

- Select Committee on Transport: Estimates for Public Services 2025
Vote 31 - Transport (Revised) (25 Jun 2025) Grace Boland: I thank the Minister. It is very good to see someone from north County Dublin in the room. Obviously, the Minister appreciates the public transport concerns in the north of the county. The briefing was really helpful. This is the first time I have seen something like this in committee and it was really good to actually see it. I am very focused on making sure that we have enough funding...

Vote 31 - Transport (Revised) (25 Jun 2025) Grace Boland: Is the Minister saying they do not appear here until they are commissioned notwithstanding that we have taken delivery already?

- Select Committee on Transport: Estimates for Public Services 2025
Vote 31 - Transport (Revised) (25 Jun 2025) Grace Boland: It is great to see that progress. I know we had hoped to have it a bit earlier in 2026 but Mr. Creegan of the NTA pointed out that the European licensing etc. would take six months. I hope we will see the roll-out in quarter 4 of 2026 which would really help with the frequency on the northern commuter line. As the Minister knows, the population has greatly increased not only in Fingal but...

Vote 31 - Transport (Revised) (25 Jun 2025) Grace Boland: That is very welcome. I presume the lifts to allow people to transfer platforms will be upgraded. As the mother of twins, I know the train service was essentially unavailable to me while my girls were still in a buggy because the lift was so frequently out of service. It just meant that public transport was not available for someone in a wheelchair or someone like me with a double buggy....
- Select Committee on Transport: Estimates for Public Services 2025
Vote 31 - Transport (Revised) (25 Jun 2025) Grace Boland: That is very welcome news. I thank the Minister and I appreciate the focus on it. The Minister mentioned the maintenance of the 90-minute €2 fare for 2025. Will we see that maintained? Do we hope to get funding for that in 2026? As I live in Skerries, that inevitably leads me to the question as to whether that can be expanded to all towns in Dublin. The Minister will be aware...

Vote 31 - Transport (Revised) (25 Jun 2025) Grace Boland: Given it is such a big project, I assume that the NTA or whoever will be managing it on behalf of the Sate will have the proper resources with the capabilities to deliver this. We have seen other IT projects where people did not have the right capabilities within their organisations and they went very badly wrong. It would be good-----
