BTW, has there been any movement in relation to this or are the government waiting to roll this out during the by-election as they have done for the past two elections?

Has anyone heard of the possibility of a rail connection between Cork and Belfast, and Cork – Sligo???

German PPP and Construction group Hochtief are now in control of Jarvis’ PPP wing – it is re-evaluating Jarvis’ assets and project agenda. A decision was due this month (Jan) but nothing looks set now until at least the end of Feb, perhaps later. It is an utter disaster of a project which should have seen its reigns seized long-ago and re-tendered for immediate construction or funded full-stop by the Dept. of Education. An utter joke!

Cork – Belfast line? Cork – Sligo line? Highly unlikely – although there has been consideration for a Cork -> Limerick -> Galway line, something which I would very much support. It should help deentralised the rail network a little in what is an extremely incovenient and unbalanced network.
