A spur off the Galway/Ennis Limerick line from Sixmilebridge was promised over ten years ago and then they - the government and CIE/Iarnroid Eireann - said that there was no market for it and that it wouldn't be used and so cancelled it. They - CIE/Iarnroid Eireann - also said that there was no market for a Limerick to Ennis line and after years of pushing and petitioning by the local people it's now one of their most profitable routes on their network.

Funny that, eh?
