Ms Marie Casserly:

Just to clarify when the Minister, Deputy Eamon Ryan, was in Sligo just before Christmas, he visited Sligo County Council and I chaired the meeting. The issue came up and I asked him about the Sligo greenway and the continuation of the line. He categorically stated, and it is on record, that for the foreseeable future there are no plans to develop a railway line north of Claremorris to Sligo. The Minister said that on the record.
