Particularly if we had the political will on both sides of the island and we had the connectivity North and South to bring the railway line up along the whole of the western seaboard. Those are all my questions. It is quite obvious that we can have a greenway parallel to a railway line. It is absolutely imperative and I would not be doing my job here today if I did not stand up and represent the people of Mayo to say how important the western rail corridor is to us and our transport spokesperson here, Deputy Martin Kenny, who will speak as well. It is absolutely the policy of the Sinn Féin party to open the whole of the western rail corridor because we see the catalyst it can be to ensure the whole development of the west and to have positive discrimination for the west.
