UNDER PHOENIX PARK lies a little-known railway tunnel.
The almost 700-metre-long passage was built in 1877, but has never been used for daily passenger services save for the occasional special service for GAA matches, most common prior to the construction of the Luas.
It is generally used for freight or transferring trains between Connolly and Heuston.
Following refurbishment works, Irish Rail will run a service through the tunnel from Kildare to Dublin Heuston line straight through to Drumcondra and on to Connolly.
We got to hop on a train travelling through the tunnel earlier this week, while TheJournal.ie‘s cyclist-in-residence Daragh Brophy roughly traced the path above ground.
TheJournal.ie has teamed up with Irish Rail to offer 100 free round trips to groups and organisations in the voluntary, community, sporting and charity sector this coming year. Each group can have up to 50 people per group travelling. That is FIVE THOUSAND free train trips across any of Irish Rail’s services. If you want to nominate a group for #JournalJourneys click below.

How could anyone put more obstacles in Trying to Find The Truth
@pat seery: because there are those that don’t want the truth to be uncovered. Political parties and the church for starters.
@pat seery: because they may be entitled to recompense
@pat seery: it’s like shaken the money tree
Sad that we cannot trust those in power to do the right thing on this that all people can agree must be excavated and babies identified . All political parties imo this applies to . In this case the right thing is obvious.
Still flaffing about with this. The Government can introduce laws and bills and get them passed quickly enough when it suits them.
Set up to fail!
Burials Bill. Undertaker in Tombstone.
Government(don’t worry about who suffered,just cover it up).com
“The views of the relatives of the deceased” are the only reason they are purposing this removal apparently and that local “residents might be burdend and it wouldn’t pass the proportionality test” .
I think if they put it to a public vote they would find out its a lot more than relatives of the deceased want this
The government still want ro keep the truth hidden. They don’t want those remains examined in case they find out they were killed by the nuns
have your say
