Mr. Jim Meade:

We see potential. When the Minister launched the rail review, he referred to this matter in as much as there is potential from a freight perspective. He wanted it considered from a freight point of view. Much of our current freight activity is generated in the west, in Westport and Ballina, and the freight goes to Dublin and Waterford. Therefore, there is an opportunity for freight to go along the western corridor down into Limerick and maybe through Limerick Junction to Waterford. We are rail-connected in Waterford and haul into Waterford. We have been in close contact with the Port of Waterford and its CEO, Mr. Frank Ronan, on how we can bring more freight to the port. Reconnecting Foynes and Cork are also on our agenda. There is an opportunity for freight and the western rail corridor. We know from our interactions in respect of the rail review that this is being examined specifically.
