Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport
All-Island Strategic Rail Review: Discussion (Resumed)
Mr. Mike Devane:
I might comment on the TEN-T. We search and lobby in Brussels to find out how it can be moved forward. As recently as an adviser speaking two days ago, the answer has always been that Brussels thinks what we are doing is a great idea, important and within what Europe is trying to do, but the Irish Government is not supporting it and Brussels is not hearing about it from the Government, so we had better convince the Government we want to do this. That is my understanding as to why this piece of railway is not included in the TEN-T.
