Calls have been made for the “immediate” release of a report claiming
usage of the Waterford-Limerick train would increase by less than 1% even with major improvements to the service.

Engineering firm Arup, which conducted the study as part of its work on the multimillion upgrade to the N24 linking Waterford and Limerick, told the Irish Examiner it won't be releasing the report until the current stage of public consultation is complete later this year.
