FG TD seeks review of rail projects

Fine Gael TD Denis Naughten has called on Transport Minister Seamus Brennan to carry out an immediate review of the Rail Procurement Agency’s entire operations.

The call follows revelations that the National Roads Authority is planning to upgrade the Red Cow roundabout at a cost of €37m.

Mr Naughten said this was just €2m more than the cost of the RPA’s plan to build a LUAS bridge on stilts to carry two light rail lines.
