Joanne Collins (Sinn Fein)

I welcome Ms Considine and wish her well in her new role. Our expectations are quite high. We know she worked for Shannon Airport for a long time and did an amazing job. It would be nice to see rail go the same way as Shannon Airport. As the new CEO, she has a lot to do to make us as happy with rail as we are with Shannon Airport.

The Foynes to Limerick rail will be open for freight early in 2026. What is the timeline? Is there a guarantee that the rail service will be opened to passengers after that?
