Ms Deirdre Hanlon:

Irish Rail has been told by Government to do the review. It is out to tender for assistance with economic expertise and technical help to compile a business case. We expect it will be a couple of months. Alongside the business case, which comprises the technical financial procedures that are required in accordance with the public spending code, Irish Rail also has been told to carry out a consultation. There is a wide variety of views as to what is the best use of that alignment, be that for rail, greenway, something else or nothing at all.
