QED
The commuting pattern question is important since the rail service has to match the demands of the area, the WRC people have a fantasy that people will do Claremorris Galway, unlikely, do we want to faciliate people in Tuam working in Galway or should the money go into suburbs in Galway which are badly served and where the population levels are such that it might work, last thing you want is Dublin style 30 mile+ commutes
