Martin Cullen just stood up in the Dail and said there were (and had been) no problems with the new CDEs (or at least none that he had been told about). He also said that they were state of the art and first class

and that an hourly service would be introduced on 1st January. Maybe someone in IR/CIE should let him in on the secret

Mind you, he also said that the reason DB and IR get the lowest subsidy rate in Euro was because they were more efficient that their European counterparts so they don't need a higher percentage. *bangs head*
