	Limerick Leader - April 3rd, 1999 - Features - Cherry picking on the railway tracks (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-16)
		MY friends in Charleville, County Cork, got a bit of a surprise some time ago when they opened their morning paper to read that not only had they a railway junction, but that it had been singled out as one of the riskiest parts of the national rail network.
		From what we read, therefore, a person taking a train from Limerick to Dublin is covered by top quality signalling for only five miles of the journey once she/he has changed at Limerick junction.
		A few hundred million to bring the rail network into the 20th century (not to mention the 21st) may seem a lot, but I feel sure that we are already losing such a sum in the traffic chaos which now besets every city and town of substance in the country.
