Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport

Rail Timetables: Iarnród Éireann

1:30 pm

Mr. Jim Meade:

It is something we do all the time. Like the Deputy I am a great supporter of the society and I know Peter very well. We have a process within our governance that allows us to donate to the society at a very reasonable cost so we preserve the heritage and lineage of the railway. It is important for everyone. It is the second-oldest institution in the State. The only thing that predates the railway, I am told, is the canals. Everything else is post that. I fully support the Deputy's comments. It is very important to acknowledge and maintain the heritage and retain those elements and artefacts of the heritage.
