Unless they are foolish or honest enough to buy a weekly ticket, people travelling to Naas, Maynooth, Greystones and the northside do not pay fares.

- Mr Emmet Stagg (Labour) on overcrowded trains

I would not suggest that everybody who travels is not paying fares.

-T he Minister for Public Enterprise, Ms O'Rourke

My point is that the conditions on the trains are such that the collectors cannot get through the crowds to collect fares.

- Mr Stagg

She should do the decent thing and go to Europe.

- Mr Ivan Yates (Fine Gael)

I would hate it. Imagine all the spats I would miss.
