Mr. Jim Meade:

The rail review conducted a cost benefit analysis of the entire rail network. It outlined the cost of operating each part of the network on a segment-by-segment basis. As railway people, we do not want to close any line. If there were no issues, we would like to open and run more railways. The decision is not ours to make; it is with the Department and the NTA. We fed all the information into it and they developed the document. The decision is with them and we are not making a recommendation one way or the other.
