Child’s lesson for Irish Rail
However, according to Barry Kenny, Iarnrod Eireann’s spokesperson, they will continue to perform maintenance on the rail line.
That, by any chance, wouldn’t be the weed-overgrown, rusted and neglected line that the citizens of Galway, Mayo and Sligo occasionally glimpse while driving along the congested N17?
For a rail company so obsessed with safety it should be pointed out to Mr Kenny that a person could very easily trip and fall on the rail buried in the long grass of the very line that Iarnrod Eireann will “continue” to maintain.
I have a six-year-old nephew for whom I recently bought a toy train set for his birthday. He now wants to add a new station to the original set. The boy concluded that he needs some points and extra track to get to his new station. Would it be possible for my six- year-old nephew to become a director of Irish Rail?
I believe he has all the necessary planning skills, as well as the technical insight into how to develop a rail network that the current management of that company appear to lack.
