Is the Minister aware of the negative effect of the increase in the number of suburban DART services on the Intercity services from Belfast, Dundalk and Drogheda, such as the Enterprise, during peak times; the ticket-checking processes that occur to prevent dangerous overcrowding at peak times of which details are provided; if he has plans to increase the number of tracks from two to four on the Malahide to Connolly stretch of the line similar to the improvement that has been carried out on the Cork line between Heuston Station and Hazelhatch; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
