Joe McHugh (Donegal North East, Fine Gael)

I raised the issue of No. 92, the public transport regulation Bill, yesterday. I do not think the Minister for Transport was here at the time. The Minister for Foreign Affairs interjected yesterday during my contribution. I am seeking clarification. The Minister maintained he would be prepared to set up an inquiry for expanding rail into the north west. Was this a facetious comment? If it was genuine, is this new policy that the Government intends pursuing?
