Chamber 'furious' at rail line closure
The southeast chamber of commerce says it is “furious” that Iarnród Éireann is “apparently” regarding the announced closure of the Rosslare to Waterford line next month “as if it was an irrevocable fact”.
On May 21st, Iarnród Éireann published notices in several news publications announcing July 21st as the closing date for the railway line.
Falling passenger numbers and the end of the sugar beet freight business in 2006 have been highlighted as reasons to close the route, as recommended in the recent McCarthy report.
A spokesman for the chamber has requested a meeting with the chief executive of Iarnród Éireann.
