Councillors from Sligo, Leitrim, Longford and Roscommon have all united behind a call for an early morning Longford - Sligo rail service.

The Transport Minister, Irish Rail and the National Transport Authority are being urged to prioritise an early morning westbound rail service to Sligo as part of enhanced public transport investment.

Cathaoirleach of the Sligo Drumcliff MD and Fianna Fail Cllr Edel McSharry says a collective voice from four counties cannot be ignored:
