All-Island Strategic Rail Review: Statements

Seán Canney (Galway East, Independent)
I will come to that. Going back to Donegal, that area is ripe for development in terms of connecting with Derry, down through Donegal into Sligo, connecting the north-west and the south of Ireland. We have an advantage in that we have the tag of being a lagging region or a region in decline. We are in NUTS II. Let us make use of all of the acronyms to go to Europe. I have asked my officials to do that in order to try to garner more funding to positively discriminate toward this region to allow us to can tilt the balance. That is the only way to do it.
