Galway Senator, Niall Ó Brolcháin, has reaffirmed that the next section of the Western Rail Corridor will go ahead, despite reports to the contrary last week.
Senator Ó Brolcháin has met with Transport Minister, Noel Dempsey, who has confirmed the next stages of the Western Rail Corridor will go ahead as planned.
“I have received a firm commitment from the Transport Minister that the next stages of the Western Rail Corridor will go ahead,” said Senator Ó Brolcháin.
“Any reports to the contrary are quite simply scaremongering.
“I will continue to lobby the Minister in this regard to protect the WRC from any cutbacks,” concluded Senator Ó Brolcháin.
