Strategic Rail Review Report: Statements (Resumed).
On the rolling stock issue, I ask the Minister of State to bring to the attention of the Minister, Deputy Brennan, that all the rolling stock purchased by Iarnród Eireann, consisting of approximately 60 carriages which I understand will be delivered in the near future, is bound for the Cork line. While I acknowledge it is a very busy line and worthy of the stock, the national spatial strategy must be taken into account in this regard. Other lines such as the Westport, Sligo and Galway lines must get their fair share of these carriages. I ask the Minister to take note of this issue.
