Local TDs accused of being obstacle to Western Rail Corridor

Local Government TDs have been accused of being an obstacle to delivering the Western Rail Corridor.It comes as funding for the Sligo Greenway was announced this week.The project faced a setback before Christmas after the local authority said it was suspending any further works as the preferred route is no longer available and a suggested alternative option was not viable.Irish Rail had previously indicated that it couldn't support the preferred route at this time, but it indicated support for an alternative "alongside" option, running parallel to the railway.But local Cllr Michael Clarke believes that there's not enough of a focus on reopening of the rail line from the Claremorris to Collooney and has questioned the silence from the three Sligo Leitrim TDs:See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
