Rail Services and Related Transport Matters: Statements.
Iarnród Éireann only wants to close more lines. I have already mentioned the Sligo-Athenry line, it also wants to close the Limerick-Rosslare and Nenagh-Ballybrophy lines. A company that should be expanding, enhancing and developing the rail service is intent on contracting and self-destruction. Have we not learned from the past? Have we not learned from the decisions to close the Harcourt Street line or withdrawing the trams? Have we not learned from the decisions to close lines around the country? The sidings are still there and farmers now use them as grazing land.
