Rail Services and Related Transport Matters: Statements.

 

Senator O'Toole mentioned what a shame it is for Dubliners that the Harcourt Street line was closed. For Waterford the shame is the closure of the Waterford-Tramore line. Tramore is now one of the biggest and fastest growing towns in the south east and if the line was still there it would do away with thousands of movements of vehicles along a seven or eight mile stretch of road. That is in the past, but we have to look to the future and the policy the Minister's Department will advocate for rail freight traffic. I could discuss the passenger aspect, but I will stick to freight.
