I propose to take Questions Nos. 85, 86, 87, 88 and 90 together.
I refer the Deputy to my reply to previous Questions Nos. 107 and 108 of 16 May 2000.
Under the Operational Programme for Transport, 1994-1999, Iarnród Éireann is currently engaged in doubling the track between Clonsilla and Maynooth. Most of the trackwork has been replaced from Connolly Station to Kilcock. Work on these projects is progressing satisfactorily and will be completed by the end of this year.
Currently two six-car train services operate in the peak hour. This gives a capacity of 1,800. When this work has been completed it is planned to operate two additional services using eight-car train sets between Maynooth and Dublin in the peak, giving additional capacity of 2,500. These additional railcars are on order and are due to be delivered before the end of this year and will be entered into service following a period of commissioning.
The upgrading of track beyond Maynooth is almost completed.
