Summary
Mairéad Farrell is pushing hard to restore food and drink services on the Galway-to-Dublin train line—the second busiest route in Ireland—still missing these amenities despite their return on other major routes. Shut down since March 2020 due to pandemic restrictions, Galway passengers are left wondering why catering hasn’t returned, even though demand remains high. While the Transport Minister promised it would happen, Irish Rail cites high costs as the barrier. Farrell insists passenger numbers prove the service is worth reinstating, keeping the issue in the spotlight as a frustrating example of uneven recovery after lockdowns.
