The majority of workers in Meath leave the county every day to go to work. It is the only county in the country where that happens. Meath people commute further than people from any other county. Navan is the biggest town in the country without a rail line. Tens of thousands of people in Meath live in commuter hell at the moment. A significant issue is the lack of a rail line. It has an enormous impact on all elements of their lives. The time they spend with their children in the evening is significantly reduced. The level of stress and financial cost is massive. The time they have to engage with their community in training for football and other clubs is significantly reduced. Will the Government speed up the building of this rail line?
