Is Mr. O'Brien concerned about rail and the impact it has on businesses? I refer in particular to the cost of rail. My understanding is that the regulator applies a cost to the usage of rail and maintenance of the tracks and that cost impacts on businesses using rail to transport their goods. Ireland is an underachiever in this and in trying to future proof our economy. Has IBEC looked at this in the past or is it an area of concern?
