I agree in respect of the enhanced role that is necessary for the WDC. It is in the Programme for a Partnership Government and we are supportive of it. We have given it extra roles in respect of the delivery of the action plan for jobs for the west and north-west regions. It is also represented on the monitoring committee of the action plan for rural development and on the Atlantic economic corridor task force. At the last meeting, I think it was last month, in Limerick, we had a brief discussion on one of the sub-committees in respect of transport. I brought up the issue of the western rail corridor. One of the initial things I asked to be done was in a compilation of the figures for the existing line from Athenry to Limerick. I do not believe the true picture is being put out. I am looking across at three supporters of the western rail corridor.
