People who have to pay back borrowings are experiencing difficulties in their dealings with some of the banks, particularly those that are exiting the marketplace.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport and Communications: Western Rail Corridor: Discussion (4 Mar 2015)

Timmy Dooley: The more people have to move to Dublin to make a life for themselves and earn a living, the more phenomenal the congestion will be there.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport and Communications: Western Rail Corridor: Discussion (4 Mar 2015)
