I appeal to the Minister to seriously consider the development of the existing rail infrastructure in the context of the national spatial strategy. This includes the development of the Ballybrophy line to commuter standard. In this context, SFADCo is anxious to see the extension of the railway line from Limerick to Shannon Airport. As a public representative from north Tipperary, I would like to see such a line extended to cover Nenagh. This would enable tourists arriving at Shannon Airport to travel to Nenagh in a convenient manner. It would make sense and assist in the future development of the airport.
