Nithe i dtosach suíonna - Commencement Matters
Rail Network
1:00 pm
Martin Conway (Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source
I thank Senator Dooley. This is a very important issue. Momentum is growing in County Clare. Following a Fine Gael event in Athlone, I travelled by train to Galway city. I then travelled from Galway city on the 6.30 p.m. train to Ennis and there was no seat available on it. That is how successful this line is. A natural progression is to open more stations on the line. The one that is essentially shovel-ready is Crusheen. It is a timely Commencement matter and I look forward to the Minister of State's reply.
