Row over ownership of disused rail line may end up in courts

A row about ownership of a disused railway line on the Kerry-Limerick border may end up in the courts.

Legal action, which farmers have threatened to take against CIE, could also delay the completion of a new walking and cycling route on the line — the Great Southern Trail.

The walkway was envisaged as rivalling the Great Western Greenway, a successful tourist attraction in Co Mayo.
