What is the story here with a temporary train station?
What does this mean going forward for people in terms of commuter-style trains?
We're constantly asking in Galway for commuter-style trains.
The Athenry to Galway train, for example, needs to be double-tracked to allow commuter-style trains.
We're asking for the Western Rail corridor to be reopened.
What are we looking at here
in terms of permanent beneficiaries that also have an economic kickback that will absolutely assist for people to live, work and work in the West.
Because we are talking here about Limerick and Galway being the West.
We put in a bid for Galway for the Ryder Cup in the future and we might get our ring road, we might get
the Western Rail corridor back open and maybe we'll actually have some sewerage and good water infrastructure in the area.
That's the reality, but it's not.
I just don't see the same urgency when it comes to the basic infrastructure in other places.
I think it's a good thing.
I'd never be against infrastructure coming into place.
Obviously, it should not be temporary.
It should be permanent.
That's absolutely necessary and clear.
But I don't see the same level of urgency.
We have a situation for years and years that in Inishere, for example, in the Aran Islands, that water can't be
used from 11 o'clock to p.m to 8 a.m every single night like that's not the way it should be in in the summer months that's definitely not the way it should be there should have been an urgency from government to look at that issue but there hasn't been absolutely you know any piece of infrastructure is a positive thing totally um understand that and i would hope that that does become a passenger and train station it ends up being um permanent but you know the reality is there is a bit of an irony here i think for most people who are listening
