Rail Services and Related Transport Matters: Statements.
Rail freight lines may inevitably close if they are not marketed aggressively, particularly after years of financial losses due to a lack of focus on the provision of such services. Will the Minister examine alternatives if Iarnród Éireann feels the line is no longer viable in the wake of the strategic review? It would be a retrograde step to neglect rail freight services in favour of road transport. If more imagination had been used in the past, such rail facilities would be in more widespread use now.
