Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport and Communications
Western Rail Corridor: Discussion
9:30 am
John O'Mahony (Mayo, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source
It has been a very interesting discussion and articulation of the potential of a whole lot of things. Obviously, there is a need for certain things to happen to unleash the potential that is there.
I am glad we have had a balanced view of what is possible. Sometimes the media reports take a one-sided view. The witnesses have set out the indisputable facts of the case, which we will consider, and this will allow us to form a balanced view.
I thank Mr. Don Cunningham and Mr. Niall Grogan, who had to leave a few moments ago, Mr. Colmán Ó Raghallaigh, Mr. Frank Dawson and Mr. Howard Knott for putting their case.
I am sure the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport will be keeping a close eye on this, and we will be able to clarify for him any issues that relate to the points that were raised at today's meeting.
