I realise that we will be discussing the railways tomorrow, but I sought an Adjournment Debate on this topic because of the dismantling of part of the line at Athenry and the disconnecting of the signal. I am sure the Cathaoirleach is well aware of the problems on the Sligo-Limerick line but it is appalling that an excuse being given to disconnect the signals at Athenry, County Galway, is that they are putting in the mini-CTC system. I ask the Leader if steps could be taken to stop the work of dismantling this line which has been stopped on other parts of the rail network. I hope an opportunity will be given to have this railway brought into place, particularly with regard to a light rail system from Mayo and Sligo down to Galway, Clare and Limerick, the Cathaoirleach's county. I hope I will get an opportunity to raise this matter again.
