Paschal Mooney (Fianna Fail)

A transportation study was prepared. I am a strong supporter of public transport and the development of infrastructure. Perhaps I get that from my late father who stood in this House for many years, in that he grew up beside the railway line. I have a lifelong love affair with trains and I wish we had more trains and more public transport. It is a sad reality that very few new lines have been opened since the Brits left. It is extraordinary. We sold off all the land along the Clonsilla-Dunboyne line, which is another argument about what happened way back in the bad old days.
