The Deputy will be aware that I do not have primary responsibility for the provision of transport infrastructure. However, I am aware of a proposal that has been prepared by Irish Rail with regard to the development of a railway station at Crusheen and, in that context, I recently met with the Crusheen Rail Group. While I will keep the proposal under consideration, the Deputy will appreciate that, in the current economic climate, all project proposals must be assessed carefully in the context of the resources available to my Department.
