The report referred to by the Deputy was commissioned by Irish Rail. The National Transport Authority (NTA) and Irish Rail have undertaken a process to review the company's financial requirements and submitted a report to my Department in late August. The report referred to by the Deputy was included in the report submitted.

I intend to consider the report submitted by NTA and Irish Rail over the coming weeks and will address the issues raised by the Deputy following that process.
