Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 6 May 2010
99 Deputy Joe Carey asked the Minister for Community, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs if he will continue to support the provision of a rail stop at Crusheen, County Clare; if so, the communications he has had in relation to this matter since his appointment; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Amharc ar fhreagraThe Deputy will be aware that I do not have primary responsibility for the provision of transport infrastructure. However, I am aware of a proposal that has been prepared by Irish Rail with regard to the development of a railway station at Crusheen and, in that context, I recently met with the Crusheen Rail Group. While I will keep the proposal under consideration, the Deputy will appreciate that, in the current economic climate, all project proposals must be assessed carefully in the context of the resources available to my Department.
