I welcome the provision for expenditure on Galway station. The report states that €3 million will be spent on the line from Galway to Athlone some time between 2009 and 2014; I do not think we can wait that long. There will be an expenditure of €3 million on a bay between Athlone and Portarlington and a further €3 million on another passing bay between Galway and Athlone in the period 2015 to 2022. This House should request the Government, the Minister and Iarnród Éireann to spend this money earlier because none of us will be able to wait that long for development of the railway.
