Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport
All-Island Strategic Rail Review: Iarnród Éireann
2:00 am
Ms Mary Considine:
It goes back to the point about the western rail corridor. The initial feasibility and the initial soundings are looking very positive for that route, and the more there is demand for it the more the extension to Collooney looks like it would be viable. As the Deputy rightly pointed out, it is not in the current strategic rail review, but there is, as I mentioned earlier, an opportunity. That will be reviewed at a point in time. If the first stage goes really well, one would be optimistic that it could be included at that stage.
