No, it will not but the first part we need is the section from Claremorris to Athenry. That is not funded. It is not in the NDP, and it is not even in the €100 billion list of projects I said are out there. We do have to make political decisions. It should be a priority because it brings better balanced regional development, and all of those industries along the west coast would have a shipping option out of Shannon-Foynes with low-carbon haulage. Similarly, they can go out of Waterford, and I would hope Dublin Port as well. Dublin Port has not been promoting rail freight. It needs to change its plans.
