I remind the House that the Government is fully committed to developing the railways. It is only in recent years that we have seen a programme to revitalise and maintain the railways. The Government is rigorously pursuing this strategy. I pay tribute to the Leader of the House, Senator O'Rourke, who led and oversaw this historic investment in our railways in recent years, who appointed the group which will bring forward the strategic rail review and who has placed Iarnród Éireann on a successful path for the future.
