I like to travel on the railway as often as my schedule allows to experience and observe first hand the level of service and safety. My most recent journey was by DART from Dublin to Malahide to open the Malahide Heritage Garden on 8 August 2001.
Since taking office, I have also travelled on most inter-city services, including Sligo-Dublin, Athlone-Galway, Athlone-Ballina-Westport, Cork-Dublin, Mallow-Dublin and on several occasions I travelled on the Enterprise service to Belfast.
