I propose to take Questions Nos. 12, 24 and 48 together.

In my reply to Question No. 13, I will set out the current position in relation to the proposed ten year transport investment framework. This investment framework will include a comprehensive public transport investment strategy for the greater Dublin area. It will take account of the policy context established by the Dublin Transportation Office's, A Platform for Change, and proposals such as those referred to by the Deputies will be considered during its preparation.
