—overwrought, in a correct sense, about safety needs. We have now got that report and this work has been costed at £430 million for five years. The Government said it will keep every existing line in place. This work will be done on a year by year basis. We have appointed monitors to carry out a spot monitor throughout each 12 months and at the end of the year to give an assessment of whether the work is been done as laid out for that year. I expect it will, because CIE is also keen on this.
As I said on "Questions & Answers", I cannot give anybody an absolute guarantee that there will not be an accident. How could I? Can the Deputy opposite guarantee that those who travel on the roads every day will be safe? He cannot, and neither can I. I will not give such a guarantee. I am glad I have initiated a railway safety programme for which there is Government support.
Under legislation there is a legal stay on CIE publishing such results, but I will inquire whether it can make them available to the spokespersons and, if it can, I will give them to the Deputies.
