I do not intend to press the amendment but I wish to comment on the Minister of State's response. The legislation is trying to deal with the transport requirements of regular commuters into the Dublin region. It is wrong to exclude somewhere like Drogheda and not take into account the needs of commuters in the north Fingal area who use Drogheda commuter line trains to reach Dublin. We have already dealt with subsection (c), but not to include such places now is putting things off and waiting for some future date when we will suddenly realise that we should have acted thus on day one. I think it is a mistake but I do not intend to press the amendment.
