Question 201: To ask the Minister for Transport his plans to re-open the rail line between Sallins, County Kildare and Tullow, County Carlow; if discussions or meetings have been held regarding this; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [26758/04]

I understand that the opening of a rail line between Sallins and Tullow does not form part of Iarnród Éireann's medium-term strategic plan for the development of the rail network.

The strategic rail review, conducted on behalf of my Department in 2003 to advise on the approach to be taken to rail development in the country over the next 20 years did not include the provision of services on this line as part of its recommended strategy.
