Using the existing rail network and the development of Colbert Station are important but I am interested in hearing about balanced regional development of the western seaboard on a macro scale. For me, it is equally as important to link the cities. We have Galway and Limerick linked by a motorway. At this stage, Limerick and Cork are the only two major cities in Ireland not linked by a motorway.
