- The history of rail transport in Ireland began only a decade later than that of Great Britain. By its peak in 1920, Ireland had 3,500 route miles (5,630 km). The current status is less than half that amount, with a large unserviced area around the border area between Northern Ireland and The Republic of Ireland. Railways on the island of Ireland are run by Iarnród Éireann (Irish Rail) within Ireland and Northern Ireland Railways within Northern Ireland. The two companies jointly operate the island's only cross-border service, the Enterprise, between Dublin and Belfast. The Railway Preservation Society of Ireland based in Whitehead, County Antrim runs preserved steam trains on the main line, with the Irish Traction Group preserving diesel locomotives, and operating on the main line. The Downpatrick & County Down Railway is the only self-contained full-size heritage railway in the island of Ireland. (en)
- Tháinig na hiarnróid go luath go hÉireann, de bharr tionchar na Breataine in Éirinn ag an am. Sin an tír inar thosaigh an chéad iarnród ar domhan i 1825. Níos lú ná deich mbliana ina dhiaidh sin, d'oscail an chéad iarnród in Éirinn i 1834. I 1920 bhí na hiarnróid go forleathan in Éirinn, le 5,470 km (3,400 míle) de bhealaí ar an oileán. Tá níos lú ná leath den mhéad sin ann inniu, le easpa mór iarnróid in aice na teorann idir an Tuaisceart agus an Phoblacht. (ga)
