I just want to clarify it, and I will allow the Senator back in then. The Minister has explained that he was asked to come in here to speak specifically about rail in Dublin. Something has been lost in translation in the way this particular section has been framed as transport and sport. Obviously, it may have happened because he is the Minister with responsibility for transport and sport but today's debate was never intended to be a discussion of transport and sport in general. It was intended, from the Minister's perspective and the brief that he got, to be a discussion of rail. I want to be fair to the Minister.
