The restoration of rail services to West Cork would undo one of Ireland’s “biggest transport mistakes”, a commuter lobby group has said.
The Cork Commuter Coalition has launched a major new vision document which will now feed into the Government's All-Island Strategic Rail Review, which the group said needs to discuss ‘how’ and not ‘if’ rail corridors can be constructed in the most efficient and beneficial fashion.
