The line is not profitable, but very few lines in this country are. We still need a rail service. There are ways to get and encourage more people onto trains instead of cars and buses, but neither CIE or the Government have the will to implement them.
However, it's not the public's fault that the country is broke, nor is it their fault that a bunch of jokers and wasters gambled all their money on failed pyramid schemes and toxic banks. They shouldn't have to pay for it further by having more rail lines closed.
