Jerry Cowley (Mayo, Independent)

I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 31 to raise a matter of national importance, namely, the failure to develop the Mayo-Sligo end of the western rail corridor which is essential for balanced regional development and which could be done very easily by incorporating the existing Mayo-Dublin mainline rail service into an inter-town local train commuter service. It could be opened almost immediately, like the western rail corridor, and not in nine and a half years, considering that the rail and trains are already in existence and all that is lacking is a will to proceed to develop Mayo services and to address regional development.
