  1. This is well needed but there are many houses and some apartment blocks built right next to the existing line. I don’t envy the folks trying to get this one through 🫣

  2. Waterford Airport will have a functional rail connection before Dublin Airport ever does. State of the government having no ambition to connect air and rail.

  3. My god, I don’t know what’s happening, but I am LOVING the movement from Irish Rail lately

  4. We could put them underground. Or failing that, perhaps we could build a sort of entirely underground urban railway system. Apparently such devilish things have existed across the water since 1863.

    Can we have some rail outside or Dublin as well please? The Westport and Sligo Lines run parallel to each other all the way to Dublin, but at no point do they connect. They don’t even go to the same train station in Dublin

  7. This fucking country will never build it.

    A 200 billion euro pie in the sky with consultants and contractors leeching from the state but delivering nothing.

    Irish rail has made it’s point, it needs more capacity to expand but we all know it won’t get it.

    Cars and roads that’s what we’ll get more fucking cars and roads…
