Naysayers and economists resisted the reopening of the Limerick-Athenry railway line yet the public persisted and demanded a service that was obviously necessary. The growth has been real. The same will apply to reopening the remainder of the line to Sligo, reconnecting hidden parts of the west and running a railway adjacent to the Atlantic corridor. Connect cities in the west and create a north south route to reinforce the Cork Dublin route and link the west to Waterford and Rosslare port by rail.
