That is my understanding as well. We have gone to Brussels and got the same answers. There are serious questions to be answered. The rail review is our last opportunity. I believe the Minister has said it will be published in late summer. We need to see this project being properly recognised in the rail review.
I am also on the Joint Committee on Education, Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science. The Union of Students in Ireland, USI, and all stakeholders are concerned about the lack of transport. We will soon have the technological university, which we are thrilled and delighted about, but its impact will be curtailed if we do not have the public transport infrastructure to go with it.
