I can't understand how we can justify spending billions on motorways but if you suggest laying a bit of new track there's suddenly no cash available. It's ridiculously short sighted. We can afford this infrastructure and it should go in properly.

There's more than enough space in west dublin to lay new lines if necessary. I mean, for example, why couldn't a new rail line have been layed (to DART specs) along the N7 as far as Portlaoise? While the road was build built. The extra disruption would have been minimal and the route is entirely flat!
