New daily commuter line comes up roses

NEWLY crowned Rose of Tralee Aoife Kelly yesterday stood on the platform of Nenagh railway station to see off the launch of a new daily commuter train service to Limerick.

Nenagh mayor Virginia O’Dowd said: “This new service comes after four years of working at all levels with Irish Rail to give the people of Nenagh and surrounding areas the type of commuter service they deserve.”

The first train left Nenagh at 7.55am.
