I propose to take Questions Nos. 965 and 966 together.
The programme for Government contains a commitment to develop a metro with a link to Dublin Airport. I have received the revised outline business case for phase 1 from the Railway Procurement Agency, which involves a line from the airport to the city centre. I have also received and considered the recent report of the Oireachtas Joint Committee on Transport on a proposal for a Dublin metro system, which, inter alia, recommends a metro system with a connection to the airport. I expect the Government to give consideration to the matter shortly.
