The CEO of Irish Rail believes the reopening of the Crusheen Rail Stop will happen "in the medium term". The national railway network operator has this week announced plans for capacity enhancements on the Limerick to Galway line which includes Ennis and Sixmilebridge. It comes as the Crusheen railway station has been put forward for consideration for the Rural Regeneration and Development fund. Cooraclare native and Iarnród Éireann CEO Jim Meade says his organisation is fully supportive of the project pending funding approval.
