The All-Island Strategic Rail Review is examining how to improve links between the island’s regions and major cities.
The study requires the approval of governments in both jurisdictions due to its 32-county nature.

Should the impasse continue in Northern Ireland, transport officials will see whether recently passed legislation will allow the release of the review.
