The last point was the most important. If, as I have been led to believe, there is European funding for the Dublin-Derry line, it is time to call it the Dublin-Derry line. Will the Minister of State confirm or refute whether the Cork-Dublin or Glountaune-Middleton line got that funding on the basis that the lines all head to Larne? We deserve the same service as everyone else, a line of thinking followed by the Minister of State. We accept that there has been much investment in the area, but there is no train service. We are discussing eco-friendly work that will minimise the amount of heavy freight on the roads, which is offered by train services.
