Bernard Durkan (FG), Kildare North

I thank the Minister for his reply. Might particular consideration be given to convenience for the commuter? That is a major consideration. I am referring to the length of time in which a number of passengers can be taken from point A to point B.
I also ask the Minister to consider the extent to which passengers boarding trains in the furthest region of the commute in the morning find that there is standing room only after only three or four stations. This can be dealt with in the short term by way of extra carriages.
