Josepha Madigan (FG), Dublin Rathdown

I am not sure how the Galway TDs might feel about Sligo being described as the new Galway of the west. However, I appreciate the Deputy’s advocacy for Sligo. I note what he said about the fact there is a new surf centre in Strandhill, the new Atlantic Technological University, the Carrick Business Park and the Paddy Whiskey and Drumshanbo distilleries, which is bringing much attention to Sligo. I will bring the Deputy’s comments back to the Minister for Transport. I note he is looking for parity of esteem and more trains in a speedier way. I will certainly bring those comments back.
