Railway line deadline will not be met
After weeks of speculation, the Minister for Transport, Martin Cullen, has confirmed he is getting ready to sign off on the Railway Order, allowing work to start on the line, which is part of a €135m commuter rail upgrade for the Cork region.
In reply to a Dáil question, Mr Cullen told Fine Gael TD David Stanton he had decided to grant the Railway Order for the project, in line with the recommendations of an inspector who had chaired a four-day public hearing last November.
