Proposed Limerick–Rosslare closure

Summary

Reynolds pressed whether CIE or the Department had proposals to close the service and said he had contrary information. The Minister said his Department had none, CIE had not informed him of any, and Reynolds was wrong according to his information.

Regarding my question, are there proposals either before the board of CIE or in the Minister's office in relation to the closure of the Limerick to Rosslare Harbour railway service?

Comment on this

There are no proposals in my Department to that effect.

Comment on this

Is there any such proposal before the board of CIE?

Comment on this

They have not informed me that there is any such proposal.

Comment on this

Will the Minister accept from me that there are?

Comment on this

If the Deputy has the information, why is he asking the question?

Comment on this

I am asking the question because of the contradictory reply I got last week from the Minister for Fisheries and Forestry. He told me that there are no such proposals but my information is that there are.

Comment on this

The Deputy is wrong so far as my information is concerned.
