Mr. Barry Kenny:

It is down to the phasing of funding. As mentioned, quite a lot has been committed within the report. If one looks at the first phase of the western rail corridor from Ennis to Athenry, which delivered the direct Limerick to Galway services, that was funding over a three to four year timescale. There is nothing peculiar about the remainder of the western rail corridor that would elongate that significantly. In infrastructure terms, it is a relatively short delivery timescale for generations of benefit.
