Strategic Rail Review Report: Statements (Resumed).

 

The Dublin to Rosslare line is also not included for investment purposes in the "going for growth" option in the review. This means the only investment proposed for the line is that which will maintain current services and networks, possibly with some improvements. With Rosslare being one of the major ports and key access points not only in the south-east but also the country, it is not encouraging to see this in the report. This part of the report should be re-examined because there is a need for investment in these lines and certainty that they will be kept open. It is fine for the Minister to say they will be kept open but we also want them operational and in good order.
