Cullen appeared to provide an open goal which no-one shot at: his apparent assertion that commuter rail services from Tuam existed.

Its really sad to see the utter ignorance of people

Metro has a solid cost benefit number, it was published
Everyone in the transport business has a good idea of the cost
Shannon has no hope for a rail link
And Matt Cooper was damn right about the best things taking way too long, give the man a award for roasting Cullen for well over a minute

And the sooner someone gets rid of Olivia Mitchell the better for all of us, she has done nothing but react to what has happened and those of us in the business have zero if not negative confidence in her in any role to do with transport since she clearly has no clue and more to the point its not just her clearly who ever is advising FG is not doing a good job then again WRC seems to be top dog which explains a lot
