Yesterday I visited one of my local secondary schools, the Good Counsel College, New Ross, where a young man called Adam asked me about the rail review and where that currently stood. He wanted to know will a future Ireland for him consist of a high-speed rail network connecting Ireland's major cities.

It must also be noted that while we await the review, there are significant projects in Wexford that have been completely shelved, namely the proposed greenway that would connect Rosslare to Waterford on the current out-of-service rail corridor, which would potentially be transformative for tourism and flagship villages in County Wexford. The Minister, Deputy Eamon Ryan, launched a pathfinder programme of 35 transport projects to be delivered within the next three years with zero mention of Wexford. Will the Taoiseach clarify today what is the further timeframe on the publication of the rail review?

I understand that the all-island rail review is close to completion. The problem now is that the Executive is not up and running in Northern Ireland. The review is a joint initiative that is funded under the shared island unit in the Department of the Taoiseach. At the time that the Minister, Deputy Eamon Ryan, and the then Minister for Infrastructure, Nichola Mallon, launched the all-island rail network review the idea was to dramatically transform our rail speed in this country. Hopefully, if we can get positive outcomes to potential discussions between the EU and the UK on the protocol, and if we can get the Executive back up and running, we could publish the rail review and get working on it then.

With regard to the Deputy's query on the greenway, I will talk to the Minister. There are many greenways going on between councils that do not necessarily have to be on the pathfinder programme list.
