In the Mayo county development plan there is talk about connecting, at enormous cost, for example, Shannon Airport, to the rail network. There is also the long mooted metro in Dublin which will cost billions of euro. It is a ten-minute bus ride from the terminal at Knock Airport to Charlestown station. Is it a policy of Mayo County Council to develop the Knock to Galway and Knock to Sligo rail links? This would provide sustainable travel connectivity to Knock airport in an affordable way. If one goes to Luton Airport, one has to get a bus. If one goes to Dublin Airport, one has to get a bus to get to one's car, never mind to get to a rail line. Does Mayo County Council consider that, whatever about Sligo, connectivity for Knock to Galway, Limerick and other places down the coast is important?
