Dessie Ellis (Dublin North West, Sinn Fein)

I am reminded of the €40 million the Minister said he had got from some of the projects. The western rail corridor is a vital area of our infrastructure. The Minister has said he will review it in the plan for 2012 to 2016. It is vital for our tourism to put in such important rail links which that area does not have. The Minister seems to have indicated that it will go down the road a good distance, but I urge that it be looked at very seriously as soon as possible.
