Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport

Urban Public and Sustainable Transport: Discussion

2:00 am

Nessa Cosgrove (Labour)

A full study was done and it showed that it could work and that the trains and drivers are there.

The information we took from our meeting with Irish Rail was that the cost of a service is not enormous. Sligo is bursting at the seams, like every place, and needs housing. We have the successful ATU, which is building all the time, and student accommodation is an enormous issue. Petitions have been signed. We are in need and another year is a long time to wait.
