I propose to take Questions Nos. 357, 358 and 360 together.

Construction contracts for the Kildare Route upgrade project, including stations at Kishogue and Fonthill, are matters for Iarnród Éireann and I have no role in relation to them. I understand from Iarnród Éireann that some contracts have been placed and work has commenced and all contracts will be in place in the coming weeks. Iarnród Éireann, in line with Transport 21,expect construction to be completed by late 2009 and commissioning of the new facilities, including new stations, to take place in early 2010.
