On Sunday there was an incident on the railway near Mountrath where a man lost his life.
The following day an Irish national newspaper reported the incident. It said that the man was hit sometime around 7pm by the 6pm Intercity Express from Cork.
Has an Irish train yet managed to travel from Cork to Mountrath in 60 minutes? It would mean we have the fastest trains in the world. Not so. The fastest Irish trains can travel is 160km/h.
There is no train timetabled to leave Cork at 18.00 on Sundays.
