Latest Derry/Coleraine rail upgrade delay 'unacceptable': Ó hOisí­n"

Transport Minister Danny Kennedy has been called on to explain the cause of the latest delay in completing the upgrade of the Derry-Coleraine rail link.

The call comes from Sinn Féin East Derry MLA Cathal Ó hOisín  after it emerged work in the line, due to begin next month, will not start until September at the earliest.

Mr Ó hOisín said:  “Minister Danny Kennedy is withholding the report on the Project assessment citing 'commercial  confidentiality.’

"This is unacceptable and I am calling on Danny Kennedy to make a statement on the cause of these interminable delays to this project."
