The Irish Railways & Transport Foundation has been established to halt the rapid disappearance of industrial archaeology and sociology which the various transport modes represented on the island of Ireland for more than 200 years. It will also maintain a vibrant, living contact with interest groups and individuals throughout the world via a quarterly newsletter and this web-site on the Internet. The urgency of the mission is evident in the ongoing modernisation of transport systems which has resulted in priceless artefacts and vehicles being swept away as Irelands transport infrastructure, with massive State and European Union investment, moves forward into the new millennium.

The main reason that this website has been produced is to provide people, both enthusiasts and the slightly interested with an indepth look at how the Cavan and Leitrim Railway is being brought back to its former glory after nearly forty years of dereliction. The Website also has a photographic archive made up of photographs that were taken while the original Cavan and Leitrim railway was still in existance. Mainly black and white, these photographs serve as a permanent record of what the Cavan and Leitrim Railway was like in the bygone era of the Irish Narrow-Gauge railways. |

The Templeport Resource Centre
The railway played a large part in the local peoples lives. It was a focal point where people met. It was also at times a place of sadness, when many young people had to leave as emigrants, some never to return. It may have had its ups and downs but the generation who remember it regret it's passing. The Templeport Resource Centre |

Corleggy Farmhouse Cheese is situated on the banks of the River Erne, between counties Cavan and Fermanagh, in Ulster, Ireland. The cows and goats graze on neighbouring farms in a natural environment, where the fields are rich with herbs. While our cheese making may be more labour intensive than mass produced cheese we feel the benefits are to be found in the tasting. "The taste is fresh and unalloyed, very precise and clear, perfect with a glass of claret after dinner, but also surprisingly good to cook with". John and Sally McKenna, 'The Irish Food Guide'. |
