I understand from Waterways Ireland that the Royal Canal will be re-opened to navigation from Dublin to the River Shannon in 2009. Thereafter, Waterways Ireland proposes that, under the National Development Plan 2007-2013, it will undertake a feasibility study of the Longford Branch to assess both the technical and cost implications of restoring the branch line.
