Mr. Brendan Quinn:

I do not want to stop a railway line north of Claremorris, but we are pretty sure that north of Claremorris is done and dusted. No one is even considering it. The Claremorris-Athenry thing popped back up on the agenda when it was popped into the all-island rail review. As I said, if people do not want to do this, they should get on with it and put the railway in with the greenway alongside it. That would be a win-win. As regards that win-win, I ask the committee to recall the slide I put up with one verbatim quote from Jim Meade. He said Irish Rail would allow a greenway only on a very strict licensed arrangement. They have nothing to be frightened of. We are not trying to steal their railway. They should put a greenway down there. The bandwidth of the entire route is about 30 m. There are some pinch points that engineering can solve. It would do so much for these communities.

That is all I will say. I thank the committee for having us.
