There are plans for high-speed train route between Dublin to Cork.

The infrastructure plans would see 200kmh adopted in the link between Clondalkin, Co Dublin and Limerick Junction, over 62pc of the route distance….

Barry Kenny, Iarnrod Eireann spokesperson, said “The Cork-Dublin route is our flagship Intercity route, with almost 4,000,000 passenger journeys annually today.”

“A two-hour city centre to city centre journey time would simply be impossible for any other transport mode in this country to even come close to matching,”
