I propose to take Questions Nos. 27 and 33 together.
In May 1998, I set an indicative timetable for the construction and completion of the light rail lines from Tallaght to Connolly Station and from Sandyford to St. Stephen's Green. Based on progress to date, I am confident that the target date of 2003 for commencement of passenger services on the light rail line from Tallaght to Connolly Station will be achieved. The Light Rail Advisory and Action Group, which I established to oversee the timetable for the project, reported to me in February, 2001, and assured me that the target date of 2003 remains feasible.
