Brendan Griffin (Kerry South, Fine Gael)

I welcome the support from the Department for the Tralee to Fenit line, which is important. My wife and I visited the Newport to Mulranny line last summer. It is an impressive and fantastic infrastructure. Last Saturday morning as I cycled the Ring of Kerry I passed the Mountain Stage railway line in south Kerry. There are fantastic tunnels and viaducts along the line. At present, South Kerry Development Partnership Limited is carrying out a feasibility study on the line. It hopes to open a greenway from Glenbeigh to Caherciveen. I call on the Minister to keep his eyes open for the feasibility report when it comes back.
