Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport
Capital Projects and Operations: Iarnród Éireann
Mr. Jim Meade:
It is just a funding issue from the Department. When the Department decides, like our earlier conversation, where best to allocate the available funding to get the best result. It certainly can be done. We know we can physically do it. All the drawings are in place so it will be a funding issue. Going back to the Deputy’s final comment, once we do that study and put a passing loop wherever we put it, maybe SIxmilebridge, and break that section - in our jargon - and shorten it to 20 minutes, that will increase the frequency across the entire route.
