I propose to take Questions Nos. 259 and 260 together.

The Deputy is referring to comments made by the Railway Safety Commission in its Annual Report 2008. The Railway Safety Commission is the independent safety regulator for railways and the details of the items raised by the Deputy are therefore a matter for the Commission which may be raised directly with it.
