Howlin calls for written guarantee on rail cuts

The Deputy Leader of the Labour Party, Wexford TD, Brendan Howlin, has called for an unequivocal written commitment from the Minister for Transport, Seamus Brennan, that the rail link to Wexford and Rosslare Harbour will be maintained and developed.

"Following a meeting with union members from Irish Rail today, I am convinced that there is a real threat to the line and that management want to close the line between Gorey and Rosslare Harbour and Waterford and Rosslare Harbour," he said.
