Rail Review which is to recommend re-opening the Galway-Mayo link to be published by month end

The first ever 'All-Island Strategic Rail Review', which is expected to recommend the re-establishment of the Western Rail Corridor, will be published by the end of the month.

It'll outline the recommended and assessed rail-lines which could be re-opened across the whole island of Ireland, including the long talked about Galway-Mayo link

It would start with rail freight between Athenry and Claremorris and at a later stage for passengers

Transport Minister Eamon Ryan says he expects to bring a memo to Cabinet on the matter in two weeks time
