Leo Varadkar (FG), Dublin West

Like Deputy Cannon, I am a big fan of greenways. They have been a huge success in the past couple of years, starting in County Mayo and then moving on to County Waterford and other places too. Most of them follow the route of old railway lines. I will certainly take that up with the Minister, Deputy Eamon Ryan. The Minister is very keen to see the western rail corridor extended northwards again. I am supportive of that too, but we know how long these projects take. I do not see that a greenway and new railway necessarily have to be mutually exclusive. It is important to preserve what is there.
