My Department provided funding of €240,000 to Irish Rail towards carrying out a feasibility study for a Shannon Rail Link. This study was completed in February 2007 and was made widely available through the Steering Group overseeing the study which included representatives of local authorities and local development interests including the Shannon Rail Partnership. My Department will be publishing the report on the Departments T21 website shortly.
