Rail Services and Related Transport Matters: Statements.

 

There are a number of issues to be dealt with. The most identifiable bad transport decision in the past 50 years was the closing of the Harcourt Street rail line. If the Minister asked most people around Dublin they would say that was the worst decision made. I recently read the report of the discussion in this House on the last week of June 1953 when the Dingle to Tralee rail line was closed. I do not have any doubt it is easy to get sucked into the wrong type of debate on this issue. I want to consider the issue in a jaundiced and pragmatic way.
