I propose to take Questions Nos. 172 and 173 together.

I am informed by Iarnród Éireann that the remaining 4-carriage peak period services on the Maynooth line will be extended to 8-carriages by February 2008. I understand also that additional services serving the Docklands Station are already operating on the Clonsilla-Docklands section, which have benefited customers in the peak periods at Clonsilla, Coolmine, Castleknock, Ashtown, Broombridge and Docklands stations.
