Ireland at the dawn of a new future for rail freight

A comprehensive All Island Strategic Rail Review is set to bring significant improvements to all of Ireland’s railway network, with a particular emphasis on enhancing rail freight connectivity. The review, jointly commissioned by the Republic of Ireland’s Minister for Transport, Eamon Ryan and Northern Ireland’s Minister for Infrastructure, Nichola Mallon, back in 2021, proposes several transformative rail projects that aim to facilitate efficient freight transportation and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
