Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport

All-Island Strategic Rail Review: Iarnród Éireann

2:00 am

Mark Duffy (Fine Gael)

Yes, that is fine. I offer my support for the all-island rail review, the double-tracking from Mayo to Dublin, but most important, the realisation of the first phase of the western rail corridor from Athenry to Claremorris. It is important we identify now what success on that service would look like in terms of numbers. Many numbers have been depressed in the projections for these potential routes. We need to identify what success looks like on this route to make sure we have the argument to continue the line north to Sligo and connect all the western seaboard. I thank the witnesses for their time today. I wish them well and look forward to engaging with them throughout their terms.
