I thank the secretariat for fitting me in.

I welcome the news that the Minister for Transport plans to undertake the strategic rail review on an all-Ireland basis in co-operation with the Northern Ireland Executive. On the proposed review for the interurban and inter-regional rail network, what role will Iarnród Éireann will play in it? How long will it take? Will there be elements of this outsourced to consultants? Will the western rail corridor be a central consideration of this review?

On the western rail corridor EY report, what type of analysis or peer review was undertaken by Iarnród Éireann which commissioned this report? Following critical analysis, some major flaws and errors were identified in the report. I would like to get an understanding of what peer review was undertaken.

I have written to Mr. Meade on several occasions about the Killnageer unmanned level crossing between Breaffy and Castlebar in County Mayo-----
