Arising from the Minister's reply in which he referred to the upgrading of the lines west of the city, may I ask the Minister for an indication of the likely timescale, cost and implications of the proposed upgrading of the line to Maynooth to which he referred? Will the Minister give an indication of the likely timescale, cost and implication of the proposed upgrading of the line to Maynooth?

There is a separate question on that.

Why did the Minister choose to refer to the extension to Maynooth but is not now prepared to answer questions, having voluntarily brought this into the discussion?

Because I was asked why priority was not given to the Greystones line and I said we had to decide on a matter of priority. Surely the Deputy knows there is such a thing as priority. The Deputy was Minister for Finance at one time and he exercised priorities very strongly then.

Question No. 13 please.

I thank the Minister for that unintended compliment——

There is no need for argument in this matter.

May I ask the Minister——

A relevant question please, on Greystones. These questions are pertaining to the DART services.

I will write to the Deputy giving him full details and he will be pleased with them.

I am glad to hear that.

Before 15 June?

We will make our own decisions and we will not be influenced by 15 June.
