2. Deputy Matt Shanahan asked the Minister for Transport if, assuming he is very much aware of the import and export benefit opportunity that has been developed as a result of the Ballina rail corridor that connects through Waterford Port, he can outline his Department’s position on developing a Ballina-type railhead in perhaps the Kildare area to connect to Waterford Port, which would counter increasing traffic congestion in the capital and have a positive impact on national freight distribution sustainability; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
