"A new Atlantic “railway spine” running from Ballina to Rosslare, a train line to Donegal, multiple freight connections to ports and higher-speed travel between major cities are expected to be included in the Island Strategic Rail Review, which is due to come before Cabinet later this month."
The review is all Ireland so includes improvements in Northern Ireland as well as the Republic.
However the news of the report was tempered by comments by the Taoiseach (Prime Minister) that more road investment is needed . So it is not clear how serious the government is in implementing this report.
