Mary has written to the CEO of Irish Rail asking him to engage directly with the owners of Ashtown Stables, whose family run business has been put under Compulsory Purchase Order to try and find a solution that will allow the project progress without losing such an important community amenity and family run business.

Mary raised this issue again under Order of Business in the Seanad.
