First of all, I want to say a big CONGRATULATIONS

to the people and politicians of Northern Ireland for *finally* working out a power sharing govenrment. Hopefully this deal will stick.

I wonder if the new Northern Ireland government, and the financial package it seems to have got, will have any impact on rail services up there including the Enterprise.

I know for example that Ian Paisely pushed for certain monetary incentives from the UK (and Irish?) governments, like Water Tax relief and so on, before agreeing to power sharing.

I wonder how, if at all, rail factors in to recent events.
