Micheál Martin (Cork South Central, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

I understand that the all-island rail review is close to completion. The problem now is that the Executive is not up and running in Northern Ireland. The review is a joint initiative that is funded under the shared island unit in the Department of the Taoiseach. At the time that the Minister, Deputy Eamon Ryan, and the then Minister for Infrastructure, Nichola Mallon, launched the all-island rail network review the idea was to dramatically transform our rail speed in this country. Hopefully, if we can get positive outcomes to potential discussions between the EU and the UK on the protocol, and if we can get the Executive back up and running, we could publish the rail review and get working on it then.

With regard to the Deputy's query on the greenway, I will talk to the Minister. There are many greenways going on between councils that do not necessarily have to be on the pathfinder programme list.
