Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport
National Investment Framework for Transport in Ireland: Discussion

I referred to this earlier. As Deputy Matthews stated, we could build stations on existing lines relatively cheaply. Irish Rail has project plans it could take off the shelf that are not hugely expensive. I would start with Moyross in the next three years and then build out from there. We can do it and the council can help by doing the planning around it with the Land Development Agency so that we get housing benefit as well as transport development. I see no reason we should not start building out the network in the next three years.
I have a timing difficulty as I have to join the Taoiseach and the Tánaiste at a press conference at 4.15 p.m.
