I do not have many questions because unfortunately, the trains do not run my way. My only question, therefore, is whether the company has any plans to bring a rail service back to west Cork, even as far as Bandon. We are in a situation where many people who have to travel to Dublin must travel 80 miles by car before they get to the nearest train station. There was a rail line all the way into the peninsula long ago. It is incredible to think that we had a rail line 100 years ago but do not have one today. Is there any plan to really open up west Cork for business in the future?
