Adjournment Matter. - Railway Derailment.

 

A strengthened bridge that is capable of carrying the heavy freight traffic on the line needs to be put in place as expeditiously as possible. It is not just a minor passenger line. I travelled it twice in the past 15 months and the bridge was probably the weakest place on it. If a strengthened bridge is put in place, it may enable the capacity to be improved. I presume the Waterford to Rosslare part of the line will continue to operate. It has some commuter traffic, but obviously the beet traffic will be disrupted. A recent container contract was announced between Cork and Waterford and that obviously will be disrupted.
