I propose to answer Questions Nos. 219 to 221, inclusive, together.

I understand from Iarnród Eireann that the railway line from Limerick to Ballybrophy via Nenagh, Co. Tipperary is currently one of the more lightly used regional passenger lines on the Iarnród Éireann network.

However the company is currently engaged in a programme of track work to reduce the number of severely speed restricted sections of track along the line.

According to Iarnród Eireann, improvements to the stations at Nenagh, Cloughjordan and Roscrea will be carried out in due course as part of Iarnród Eireann's network wide accessibility improvement programme.
