High-speed rail networks are fast train systems that connect major cities, providing a quick and efficient alternative to car and air travel. Proponents argue that it can reduce travel times, lower carbon emissions, and stimulate economic growth through improved connectivity. Opponents argue that it requires significant investment, may not attract enough users, and funds could be better used elsewhere.

@9NSBV4S6mos6MO
No, we should focus on re-opening our disused railway lines rather than on developing high-speed rail
@9ZK4LXC1wk1W
No, but the government should re-open old railway networks and branch lines to improve connectivity across the country
@9ZG2CJ52wks2W
This would be the last stage in my opinion. We need to zone in on bettering the transport system we already have before we make new plans. This is counterproductive and wastes time and money
@9Z9B9Y42wks2W
Yes Irish transport system is in SHAMBLES and needs to be fixed ASAP with reasonable ticket prices - all across Europe they have a intricate and perfectly timed transport system at a low low cost and all citizens use public transport because it’s fast,efficient and cost effective compared to Ireland charging for expensive tickets and not even being able to arrive on time
@9NSJFNZ6mos6MO
High speed rail connections is not necessary but a standard of rail service in all 32 county’s could add massive prospects for commuters outside large city’s
@9NPNKQK6mos6MO
Yes, but prioritise having trains connecting the cities that do not require change-overs regardless of highspeed or not.
@9NF2HXD6mos6MO
Yes , but once other issues like homelessness and funding for mental health/HSE funding has been dealt with
@9N6VX476mos6MO
Only if the tender process is publicly transparent.
