Suspended rail service sparks anger in south-east

BUSINESS leaders across the south-east remain furious at Iarnród Éireann’s decision to suspend rail services between Waterford and Rosslare.

However, the South East Chambers of Commerce have not given up on the rail link and say they intend to explore ways to salvage the route that has serviced Waterford and south Wexford for a century.

The chambers’ access task group chairman Orm Kenny has expressed “severe regret” at last week’s decision by the National Transport Authority (NTA) to allow Iarnród Éireann suspend the rail line.
