On another matter, I travelled by train from Galway this morning, passing through Athlone which is the Leader's base. It struck me that the land surrounding most train stations is totally derelict and this gives a very bad impression of the nearby towns. I ask for a debate on transport with the Minister for Transport to ascertain if the lands could be sold for affordable housing or else improved. Most towns are involved in the Tidy Towns competition and the train stations are costing them many points every year.
