on track for 2007
Galway Independent -
Wednesday 4th January 2006
The Limerick to Galway commuter
line is on track for commencing operations before
2007
According to Minister of State at the Department of
Justice, Equality and Law Reform Frank Fahy, the recent
announcement that Iarnród Éireann is to
proceed with the development of the commuter line, is a very
welcome initiative.
"The decision taken by Iarnród Éireann to
proceed with a Galway commuter rail link, and the news that
Galway and Limerick should be connected by a commuter rail
link by the end of 2007, are most welcome."
"This new commuter link, together with the introduction
of new trains on the existing Galway to Dublin route during
2007 and the planned commencement of hourly departures on
this route to the capital, will mean a very comprehensive
commuter service for the city, particularly between Athenry,
Oranmore and Galway," he said.
