The provision of rail links in County Donegal does not form part of Transport 21, though I am aware that a Donegal County Council led steering group is considering undertaking a feasibility study on possible rail links to Donegal. The commissioning and funding of the study is a matter for the organizations and agencies participating in the steering group. I will consider, in conjunction with Irish Rail, the outcome of the study.
