Wow these guys have cabinet seats but rail services get a speech in the seanad
Quote:
I note your concerns with regard to the closure of the Rosslare to Waterford Railway.
I equally share your concerns and raised this issue in the Seanad in April.
Please find below an extract from my Seanad Speech which might be of interest to you.
"Keep Rosslare to Waterford Rail Service open - O Brolchain
The western rail corridor has completely exceeded expectations and is an enormous success.
However, no sooner has this service been put in place than the abolition of the service from Rosslare to Waterford has been proposed, which is an absolutely retrograde step. I urge the Ministers to think carefully about this and to consider the possibility of the timing of the service, as opposed to simply stating the service is not working and proposing to get rid of it. One must suit people and travel is all about what people want and about providing a service that is usable by them."
With kind regards,
Niall
