Transport Minister Eamon Ryan described the plan as “the future” of transport in Ireland and said more rail infrastructure would open up new parts of the country for development.“Because what you do is, you put in the public transport first and then you put in the housing beside the stations.

He said some of the old lines remain intact and the plan aims to “start getting some of that back and re-opening lines that were only recently closed”. The new review of the rail system on the island of Ireland sounds amazing and would transform the Northwest. “It’s about freight; it’s about switching away from trucks carrying everything to rail once again carrying a lot of our cargo.”The closure of so many railway lines left a number of counties in Ireland without any rail connectivity whatsoever – something Minister Ryan believes has hampered economic growth in more isolated parts of the country.
