On one hand we're subsidising reduced excise on fossil fuels by around €100million per month, & on the other we are raising public transport fares. This decision came out of the blue. It seems like we're robbing Peter to pay Paul. Why punish public transport users for making the sustainable choice?

RTÉ News@news.rte.ie · 2d ago

Falling revenue and rising costs have created a deficit of more than €800m in funding for public transport services, an Oireachtas committee has heard

We all agree, we shouldn’t have to pay more for public transport. We need to encourage people to make the sustainable choice, not punish them. If you agree, join us outside the Dáil on Thursday at 6pm.

We're happy to see Irish Rail maintaining the Wexford-Waterford line today - with the MPV pictured here today at Wellingtonbridge. This highlights that the government should move immediately to repair the Barrow Bridge and get this line back into service by 2030, not 2040!

This recent op-ed in the Irish Times highlights the issues in Irish Rail. The problems run deeper. In 26 years, we have had unprecedented economic growth but only 62km of net growth in our national rail network. Something needs to change. www.irishtimes.com/opinion/2026...

Planned investment on saving the Dublin-Wexford line in the next two decades? €230 million, or thereabouts: www.irishtimes.com/transport/20... Planned additional subsidies to further reduce the cost of petrol this year alone? Over €750m: www.irishtimes.com/politics/202...

High and dry: How Irish Rail is protecting its lines from coastal erosion in Dublin and Wicklow

A €230m infrastructure project is a series of interventions along sections of line most at risk from erosion and flooding

Passengers are reporting significant overcrowding on Rosslare-Dublin services ever since the increase in fuel prices. Rail is the solution, but we need increased capacity and investment on this line. We need to continue to facilitate people to make the switch from 🚘 to 🚆.

Recent passenger statistics reveal a surge in demand along the Rosslare-Dublin rail line since 2019 The latest figures show explosive growth across all stations with Gorey experiencing an increase of 70% Wexford is the busiest station south of Greystones www.instagram.com/p/DVqxhWDiLpk/

We’re currently attending a meeting in Arklow, organised by @malcolmbyrne.bsky.social covering public transport issues between Wexford/Wicklow and Dublin. Increased rail and bus services are crucial in this region.

The population of Wexford's towns has grown hugely in the last 2 decades. Since 2005, Gorey has had a 60% population increase(!), Enniscorthy 30%, Rosslare Harbour 52% - the rail services on offer in Wexford have not kept up with this growth.

Many rail users in the south-east travel to and from train stations using both bike share schemes & their own bikes. Government should be encouraging people to travel using public transport and active travel as opposed to discouraging them doing so with unscientific, knee-jerk legislation.

Today we wrote to Minister O'Brien outlining our opposition to the mandatory helmet and hi-vis proposals. We'd encourage our members to email their local TDs to outline their views. @irishcyclingcmpn.bsky.social have outlined the research below: www.irishcyclingcampaign.ie/why-mandator...

Dublin to Rosslare line is reopening between Greystones and Wicklow following clearance of extensive debris on the line. Full services expected for today.

Adjustments to scheduled services Connolly-Rosslare this eve due to flooding along the line. 16:28 & 17:28 will amalgamate and serve as a bus transfer to Wicklow & train from Wicklow to Rosslare. 18:28 Connolly to Wexford & 20:08 Connolly to Gorey will be a bus transfer for the full journey.

NTA continues to force Irish Rail to stay on X despite child sexual abuse material scandal

Irish and international experts have said social media platform X was generating child sexual abuse material, as well as nonconsensual “undressing” images of adults, but the National Tr…

Waterford (population 60,079) & Wexford (pop. 21,524) can easily sustain a rail service between them. In Scotland there are 8 daily trains between Fort William (pop. 15,757) and Mallaig (pop. 701). The South East has the existing infrastructure to deliver a top class rail network.

The line between Gorey and Wexford has reopened, this evening's trains will operate as a full service with no bus transfers.

The line between Wexford and Gorey is to remain closed until at least tomorrow afternoon due to flooding at Enniscorthy. More details about bus transfers can be found here: www.irishrail.ie/en-ie/news/s... Bus transfers in operation to Gorey from Wexford/Rosslare and then train transfer as normal

Rail advocacy groups call on Iarnród Éireann to abandon X amid Grok controversy

Four commuter advocacy groups have jointly written to Iarnród Éireann requesting that the company relocate its service updates from X (formerly Twitter) to its own official channels.

It's good to hear the Minister speak about bringing forward the timeline, but we need concrete plans. The region has waited long enough for this much needed connectivity. #SpéirGorm

Delays across rail services this morning because of #StormChandra. As far as we can see, bus transfers in operation between Wexford and Dublin (however there are major delays on N11 and M50). On days like today, having X as the only platform with substantial info on train delays is not good enough.

It's not acceptable that the only way to get live updates on public transport is by having an account on X which is now under investigation for CSAM. TFI and Irish Rail need to start providing accessible and reliable updates on their own platforms instead of relying on X. #SpeirGorm

Ourselves, @dublincommuters.bsky.social, @galwaycommuters.bsky.social, & Cork Commuter Coalition wrote to Iarnród Éireann & the NTA today, asking them to cease posting real-time service updates exclusively on X. This vital info should be widely available. Read below: docs.google.com/document/d/1...
