Just to be aware, Mayo County Council told this committee before that the elected members expressed the view that the potential of the western rail corridor needs to be protected and that any greenway route is to be accompanied on the ground other than the railway line and any progress on the Athenry-Claremorris line could lead to an increase. What the committee is being told and what the witnesses tell us is conflicting. We need to be careful about what accusations we make against county councillors.
