Again, in my county of Wicklow, there is an immediate risk to the rail network in areas such as the Murrough in Wicklow town, which has seen considerable coastal erosion over the past number of years and it is progressively getting worse. This piece of rail line is seriously at risk, as is the public amenity at the Murrough. Certainly there is extreme concern that it cannot wait until 2029. We have been told this is the only show in town and nothing will be looked at prior to this. There are concerns in terms of the infrastructure and the public amenity. It needs to be looked at and I ask that it be given immediate consideration because of the seriousness of the issue. I do not know whether this has been flagged at departmental level by Irish Rail at this point.
