The reopening of the Mullingar to Athlone rail line does not form part of the Transport 21 investment plan. A report prepared on behalf of the Midland Railway Action Group in relation to the re-opening of the Athlone to Mullingar railway line is currently being considered by my Department in conjunction with Iarnród Éireann. When my Department's assessment is complete I will respond fully to the report submitted by the Group.
