O’Mahony to continue with Western Rail Corridor campaign

Mayo Fine Gael TD John O’Mahony has vowed to continue to campaign for the completion of the Western Rail Corridor. Speaking in the aftermath of the announcement on cuts to capital funding, Deputy O’Mahony said it was important for the public to recognise that the project has been deferred and not cancelled.

“I have campaigned for this project from the day I put my name on the ballot paper in 2007 and I will continue to do so until it is completed. Of course it is disappointing it has had to be deferred but we’re living in extremely difficult economic times and the Government has had to make tough decisions. It doesn’t mean that this is the end for the Western Rail Corridor and I assure those behind the project that they will continue to have my support,” he said.
