Mr. Jim Meade:

I understand the Nenagh Rail Partnership commentary around this. Our strategy, however, to 2027 was aligned with the original national development plan. It was how Iarnród Éireann was going to deliver what was in it. The national development plan is a subset of the national planning framework. The first phase of it was Dublin-centric, meaning there was not much spend in the regions in the initial plan. That is why our strategy to align with that plan does not have much. However, matters have moved on. We are revisiting the national development plan. The current Administration is focused on the regional cities and asking us what we can do for them. We believe that funding will be forthcoming.
