Gerry Horkan: I thank Mr. Meade. I will not keep listing all the issues. Some of the members here will be touching on points. I have issues about the Ballybrophy line in north Tipperary. I have issues about the lack of a bridge in Killarney between the bus station and the train station.

Gerry Horkan: I have the same query and there is a photo, but it is about the accessible toilet at Heuston Station. It has not been operational since 2 December, and it was still not operational on 15 and 22 January, which is about seven weeks. People use the toilet on their train journey between Waterford and wherever, but I think this is a query about the station's accessible toilet.

Gerry Horkan: The Senator has the photograph but I think is the accessible toilet at the station rather than on the train.

Gerry Horkan: On the Heuston to Waterford train, the disabled toilet has been defunct since 2 December, which is at least seven weeks. Mr. Meade might just check that.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Capital Projects and Operations: Iarnród Éireann (24 Jan 2024)
Gerry Horkan: Okay.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Capital Projects and Operations: Iarnród Éireann (24 Jan 2024)
Gerry Horkan: Okay. I thank Mr. Meade very much. Senator Craughwell said he would be brief and he would not use his time. He is actually on 12 minutes instead of ten.

Gerry Horkan: Deputy Crowe's colleagues, newly co-opted Councillor Rita McInerney and Councillor Tony O'Brien, both contacted me about the Limerick-Ennis rail resilience. They mentioned the Crusheen-Ennis spur link to Shannon and so on. Clearly the people and Councillors in Clare are very interested in rail services. It is not only Deputy Crowe.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Capital Projects and Operations: Iarnród Éireann (24 Jan 2024)
Gerry Horkan: I am always willing to facilitate Deputy Crowe, as he is well aware.
