Adjournment Matters. - Railway Services.

 

I do not believe the propaganda that it is costing the State €2 million to €5 million. Some ten or 12 years ago, the benefit of closing it was put at £100,000. There is an old French saying that if one wants to have one's dog drowned, call it rabid. There is much in this. Irish Rail must think again. I hope the Government will not go down this road. In hard times, there were not rail closures. Over the past 20 years the system was kept intact and must remain so now that more money is available.
