: Is the Minister aware that the western railway line goes through Blanchardstown and the southern line goes through Clondalkin? Until the time somebody thinks up some proposal for electrified suburban railway lines to the city has the Minister any plans for an interim commuter development on those two lines to assist the people who are rapidly moving into those new towns of Blanchardstown and Clondalkin?

: The only thing I can say is that I am acutely aware of the problems in west County Dublin and the rate of expansion of the population there. I hope that the fact that I personally insisted that part of the capital provided in this year's Estimate would be spent on new rolling stock to be built at Inchicore should somewhat alleviate the rolling stock problem and, hopefully, might allow for some sort of improvement in the suburban services of the nature mentioned by Deputy Mac Giolla.
