We have heard an awful lot of talk about public transport since the recent publication of the Government's climate action plan. My colleague, Deputy Cassells, raised the question of the Dublin to Navan railway line in this Chamber last week. There is a railway line in place between Navan and Kingscourt. I ask the Taoiseach to work with the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport to commission a feasibility study. I have been informed by Iarnród Éireann that this would be one of the easier projects it could do across the country because it owns the Navan to Kingscourt line, which means no compulsory purchase order would be needed to buy land. It would be a fairly straightforward project if there was a commitment from the Government.
