Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 2 June 2004
202 Mr. Eamon Ryan asked the Minister for Transport the procedures that have been put in place to secure the preservation of the existing Navan to Kingscourt railway line; if his Department carried out any studies on the possible reopening of the line as a continuation of possible future rail services from Dublin to Navan. [16739/04]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe disused rail alignment between Navan and Kingscourt is still in the ownership of CIE and the company has no plans to dispose of any part of the line. The strategic rail review, commissioned by my Department in 2003, examined the future potential for reopening the line for both passenger and freight services and concluded that there was no economic case for its restoration.
