Flooding at Ballycar on the Galway-Limerick Railway and Investment in Heavy Rail: Discussion
10:30 am
Mr. John Sydenham:
My previous comments cover that. There is a general appreciation that something needs to be done. It can appear frustrating for people at times with multiple agencies involved. There is a fundamental issue with Ballycar. We have had conversations around various options and what the solution might be. Some have challenges relating to the railway line and others do not. There needs to be clarity on what is being recommended, on how that gets delivered and what is involved in doing that. We then come to the issue of who funds that. There is further work to be done. We discussed reports from 2011 and 2015. People will wonder what has been happening since then, where are we with this, what happens next and what is the solution. We need to look at that in more detail.
