I propose to take Questions Nos. 635 to 637, inclusive, together.

The issues raised are operational matters for Iarnród Éireann, in conjunction with the National Transport Authority (NTA) in Ireland, and for Translink in Northern Ireland and I have forwarded the Deputy's questions to the NTA for direct reply.  Please advise my private office if you do not receive a response within ten working days.

​The Enterprise Refurbishment project is being implemented through the EU Interreg IV programme under the auspices of the Special EU Programmes Body (SEUPB). Following consultations with all key stakeholders, including my Department, the SEUPB recently confirmed that there is no significant risk associated with the timely completion of the project, which is on schedule for completion by the end of December.
