I can confirm that I met with representatives of the Crusheen Rail Group in April last with regard to a proposal prepared by Iarnród Eireann regarding the development of a railway station at Crusheen. As the Deputy is aware, I do not have responsibility for the provision of transport infrastructure and I have highlighted to Iarnród Eireann my expectation that those bodies with primary sectoral responsibility in this area would further consider the proposal. Given the resources available to my Department and the level of commitments that already exist, in particular under the CLÁR Programme, I am not in a position to make any commitment to this project at this time.
