Green Party Leader Eamon Ryan says he believes the Western Rail Corridor should get the same priority as the extension of the Luas to Finglas.
He was responding to a question from Galway West TD Eamon O' Cuiv, who wanted to know if the west project would ever get the same sense of urgency.
Minister Ryan agreed it should - but suggested the real problem is that there are very differing views, including within Deputy O' Cuiv's own Fianna Fail party.
Transport Minister Ryan added that a fundamental question is whether or not rail freight will have a future role in our transport system.
