  • The Cork to Passage Railway
    THE PROPOSED CORK TO PASSAGE RAILWAY 1837 Brendan Hall The Parliamentary Committee to consider the Bill for the construction of a railway between Cork and Passage West met over three days in April 1837. The members of the Committee were Mr. O'Connell, Mr. D. Callaghan1, Mr. Jephson, Mr. Serjeant Jackson, Mr. Longfield2, Mr. Roche3, Mr. Vesey, Sir Andrew Agnew, Sir R. Bateson, Mr. Barry4, Mr. Cole, Colonel Thomas, Mr. E. Buller and Sir Richard Musgrave. There were several petitions against the Bill. One was from a group of Cork (city and county) inhabitants, alleging that the proposed railway would be harmful to the navigation of the river Lee and to trade in Cork city. No evidence was put forward to support these allegations and the claim was rejected. A petition forwarded by a consortium interested in constructing a competing railway service between Cork and Cove was also rejected. The Committee looked sympathetically on a protest by William Wise, on whose land it was proposed to build a railway terminus on the side of the river Lee. Traffic from Cork to Passage (1837) Statement showing the present annual amount of traffic, and the expected annual traffic by the Cork and Passage Railway, in Passengers and Goods - Present avg.
