Transport 21 does not provide for the construction of a rail link between Limerick and Shannon Airport. I understand that the feasibility study carried out on behalf of Iarnród Éireann with input from a steering groups representative of local interests concluded that the economic case for the rail link is poor and that Iarnród Éireann have no plans to undertake any further work on the proposal at this stage.
