Galway Bay fm newsroom - A Galway TD claims the Government is reneging on its commitments to the Western Rail Corridor.
Deputy Eamon O' Cuiv says the programme for Government included a pledge to examine the viability of the line between Athenry and Claremorris.
However, he says Minister Shane Ross has revealed no work has been undertaken thus far - and he believes there is no appetite to get the review underway.
The Fianna Fail deputy says the commitment to examine Phase 2 of the Western Rail Corridor appears to be little more than an empty promise.

Deputy O' Cuiv argues that rail and road links are of vital social and economic importance.
