All-Island Strategic Rail Review: Statements (2 Jul 2025)

Pearse Doherty: Investment in rail infrastructure in the north west is crucial if we are in any way serious about balanced regional development.

We now have two Ministers of State who make up the formation of the Government saying it. Does one...

Pearse Doherty: It was reported previously that it was about €12 million up to the start of this year, so it has probably gone over that now. To turn to the cost of the agreement entered into - I appreciate this was before the Minister of State's time, but he is now in this role - would I be right in saying the 25-year lease is worth about €200 million?

Pearse Doherty: I represent my constituency of Donegal, but I would meet very few people on the street who would say it was a good idea for the OPW to rent a building in Dublin city centre for €12 million that nobody has been in for the last year and a half and that nobody will be in until September. We will see if that deadline is met.
