In addition to the sunny weather, Limetree Airfield, near Portarlington are having a flyin over the Bank Holiday weekend. The flyin continues tomorrow so if your nothing planned and in the Laois area it is well worth a visit.

About that Foynes branch, there was a wee bit in Modern Railways magazine about it being reopened in the future, as the port's demands increases!
