Just as happened in the UK, the Fifties and Sixties saw many of Ireland's railways closed in the name of rationalisation, including most of the Republic's branch lines. Although the network was quite extensive, the number of disused tunnels is relatively small. There are however several notable structures including one within a hair's breadth of a mile in length.
As is the case with our main tunnels database, we have looked for links to photographs or information about each entry. The 'Portal' links takes you to a street map of the portal's location (except for those in Northern Ireland which is not covered by online maps showing disused railways). Select 'Historic 25"' in the 'Preview Map Series' menu to see the tunnel more clearly.
