Mr. Barry Kenny:

I have been with the company for 30 years and others who have been even longer will say this as well. Every time we invest in expanding the capacity of the network, be it in urban areas or on national routes, demand always ends up higher than the projections. Obviously, we have to base business cases on what modelling does. It is not quite, "If you build it, they will come", because there is a bit of mysticism about that but the fact is that strong infrastructure is always supported. There is no reason to think that the Athenry to Claremorris line would be any different in that regard.
