Joe O'Toole (Independent)

Some people in An Taisce are completely deluded and misinformed, however. This matter needs to be examined and dealt with in a balanced way. Similarly, I mentioned the rail line between Sligo and Rosslare yesterday. I did not know at the time of the accident near Cahir. Despite the half-assurances provided by the Minister in the other House yesterday evening, I am terrified that the accident will be used as an excuse to do what Iarnród Éireann has been planning to do all along – to close the rail line between Limerick and Waterford.
