I do not wish to cause a row at the meeting because the Minister knows I have great admiration and time for him and I support what he is trying to achieve. A rail corridor between Cork and Limerick is about as good as a sieve and a bucket. It needs to be a road. I travelled the Cork-Limerick road last week and it is absolutely unsafe. If we are talking about hauliers, goods or even just accessibility from Limerick to Cork it makes no sense to try to talk about changing anything else. I do not want to have a row because it is something I passionately believe in.
