The Government is being pressed on the timeline for the construction of a Shannon Airport rail link. Speaking at the Clare base recently, Transport Minister Darragh O'Brien said he'd like to see a rail connection at the facility but gave no commitment to funding the project. The project was included in the All Island Strategic Rail Review published last September. Responding to Shannon Sinn Féin TD Donna McGettigan in the Dáil, Finance Minister Jack Chambers says it's up to Minister O'Brien to give updates on the development.
