Rail Services and Related Transport Matters: Statements.
There is no proper planning in this area. In the town of Ballina in Senator Higgins's constituency of Mayo €2 million was recently invested in the freight depot, which is now being threatened with closure. There does not appear to be any long-term planning. If the freight depot in Wexford was to close, an additional 100 lorries per day would have to come to the sugar factory in Carlow, via Wexford and south Carlow, each day. That would not be acceptable.
