(Limerick-East) asked the Minister for Transport if he accepts the findings of the McKinsey Report; and if he intends to implement it in full or in part.

I am at present considering the McKinsey Report on CIE but no decisions have yet been made regarding the implementation of its recommendations either in whole or part.

On a point of order, in view of your disgraceful non-permission to me to ask more than——

That is not a point of order. You know what you can do about that but you cannot erase my ruling now.

I wish to give notice that I intend to raise this matter on the adjournment this evening.

I will communicate with the Deputy.

(Limerick-East): I could not hear the Minister's reply. Would he repeat it?

With the permission of the Ceann Comhairle I will read the reply again. I am at present considering the McKinsey Report on CIE but no decisions have yet been made regarding the implementation of its recommendations either in whole or in part.

(Limerick-East): In view of the serious concern expressed by many people in the country, and especially by CIE staff, when will the Minister be in a position to make a decision on the McKinsey Report?

I am doing a lot of reading at the moment. I have read two summaries of the Report and I am studying it with a view to bringing proposals before the Government arising out of it.

(Limerick-East): Is it under active consideration or under passive consideration by the Minister's Department?

All my considerations are active.

That would make a change.

That is very unkind, and not true.
