Question 239: To ask the Minister for Transport the proposals made by Iarnród Éireann, Galway County Council and Galway City Council towards the delivery of a double rail tracking system between Galway and Athenry; if his attention has been drawn to the urgent need to dramatically increase rail travel particularly for workers going to and from Galway city; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Transport 21 does not include the double tracking of the railway line between Athenry and Galway. I understand, however, that Galway City Council is considering seeking funding for such a project as part of its bid for funding for Galway under the Gateway Innovation Fund under the NDP.
