Martin Cullen (Waterford, Fianna Fail)

The working group on the western rail corridor appointed by my predecessor as Minister for Transport, Deputy Brennan, has met on a regular basis since last June. I understand the working group and its sub-groups are nearing the end of their deliberations. Accordingly, I expect to receive the report of the chairman within the next two months. A decision on the development of the western rail corridor will be taken in the context of the ten-year transport investment framework under preparation by the Department.
