Mr. Paul Hogan:

The question was on the remains of the rail network. In rural areas, former railways are coming back into use as greenways, for example. There is a tourism element as well as a commuter element. In more suburban or urban areas, it remains a possibility that a railway line such as that to Dunboyne will be considered for development further north in future strategies for the greater Dublin area. Also to be borne in mind are new stations or a new line to Midleton, Cork. The Luas green line in Dublin is built on a former railway line.

I am not too sure what the Senator means in respect of rights of way expiring. It is not a matter of which I am aware.
