Paul Coghlan (Fine Gael)

I do. The Chair knows how speedy I am. The Deputy Leader will be aware, as are many Members of the House, of the appalling service provided by Iarnród Éireann in the south-west. We have the worst carriages and a substandard second-class set-up. Passengers who change trains at Mallow must use pre-war carriages. The Minister for Transport must start taking notice and communicate with Iarnród Éireann regarding the unsuitability of carriages on the line. If we are to improve our tourism we should have luxury carriages. In addition, the people of the south-west should be treated similarly to people in other parts of the country. The service is appalling. I appeal to the Deputy Leader to use his good offices with the Minister in that regard.
