Significant increase in travel on Galway-Limerick rail line

There's been a considerable increase in travel along the Galway-Limerick rail service. 

The line reported a rapid growth of more than 14 percent last year - compared to a 25 percent average decrease on other lines nationwide. 

The Chief Executive of Iarnród Éireann will meet Oireachtas members from the West and Mid-West on February 15th, to discuss increasing frequency on the Galway-Limerick line. 

Speaking to Galway Talks, Galway West Deputy Éamon O'Cuiv believes that the latest figures prove the value of rail lines in the West.
