Clare County Council is being called on to establish a business case for the reopening of Crusheen railway station as a matter of urgency.
Irish Rail CEO Jim Meade, himself a Sixmilebridge native, told the Oireachtas Transport Committee last month that the organisation would support the move if the local authority provided such a proposal.
