Roderic O'Gorman (GP), Dublin West

I thank the Deputy. I am aware of the changes that have taken place on the northern line and their impacts on commuters. My understanding is that these are on foot of a change that we all want to see as positive, that being to ensure an hourly Enterprise service between Belfast and Dublin. That is something we all agree on, but a measure like that should not be taken at the expense of commuters. I have spoken to the Minister, Deputy Eamon Ryan, about this particular issue. I spent all my life before having this job on public transport and I know that three or four minutes can make a big difference. If there is half-hour gap, it is even bigger. Therefore, my colleague the Minister of State, Joe O'Brien, and I will continue to engage with the Minister for Transport, Deputy Ryan, on this issue.
