============================================================

Rose Conway-Walsh (SF), Mayo

I ask the Taoiseach to do the direct opposite with regard to the western rail corridor and the line from Claremorris to Collooney. I am a very big advocate of greenways, absolutely 100%, but there are many places we can have greenways. It is not everywhere we can have railways. The infrastructure of a railway both from Athenry to Claremorris and Claremorris to Collooney is absolutely vital to the Atlantic economic corridor and the development of the western seaboard. I ask that this line be protected and not used as a greenway but reopened and prepared for the western rail corridor to be developed up to Sligo and Collooney.
