Mr. John Mulligan:

I am not. I am asking the committee to take a pragmatic view. I am trying to put a timescale on all of this. Realistically, if a railway is reinstated on that land it will be from Athenry to Tuam, and Tuam to Claremorris in the medium term. The section from Claremorris north towards Collooney and Sligo is way down the road. Anybody who is honest about it will say it is way down the road in terms of build. The cheapest way of utilising existing funding is to build on the track. If the Government decides that it wants to build it alongside, that is fine, but it is an awful waste of money. The payback for doing it the cheap way is five years. It is 15 years for doing it the more expensive way. The Government is limiting its options.
