Waterford by Port of Waterford

A freight strategy has been published by Iarnród Éireann, the operator of the national railway network of Ireland – also known in English as Irish Rail.

The aim is also to radically reduce the carbon footprint of rail freight service, with the existing diesel fleet replaced by new low carbon motive power.
