If we can throw reason out the window I propose that the Thurles-Clonmel line is not sufficient fairness since it doesn't cross a county bound, and thus the Derrydonnell-Loughrea-Cloughjordan-Thurles-Nenagh-Dungarvan line should begin construction immediately. 199km so with the bare minimum of acceptable equipment in the interests of balanced regional development (regauged Class 222s) the journey might take as long as an hour and a quarter, if a stop in Portumna is absolutely required.
