Western rail corridor final report to be published following review

Transport Minister Eamon Ryan has confirmed that the final report on proposed reopening of phases two and and of the Western Rail Corridor between Athenry and Claremorris have been completed.

In response to a series of parliamentary questions on the matter, he explained: “As was signalled publicly at the time of the commissioning of the appraisal in 2019, and, as is required under the Public Spending Code (PSC), my department has been reviewing the documentation that has been received and engaging with Iarnród Éireann and the consultants as required during this review.

“Once that review is complete the matter will then be brought to government for its decision and the report published as soon as practical thereafter.”
