All-Island Strategic Rail Review: Iarnród Éireann

I would just re-emphasise that point. Our concern in the county is that, first, there will be delay in securing the railway order but then when it is secured, that there could be downtime of a couple of years. We have the experience of downtime of decades because there was a railway order in place before for this project and then it fell off the priority list. We need to maintain momentum on it to see it delivered.
