Tara mines traffic via Foynes

[murphaph]

I remember reading somewhere that Tara mines traffic went via Foynes for a time. Was this at the very start after the mine had opened? When was that? What wagons were used?

Cheers all.

The first Tara ore shipments were dispatched through Foynes possibly in Barytes Wagons as a result of a dispute at Dublin Port. 

The  Dublin Port Tara Terminal was built on Gouldings Wharf and redundant Gouldings Fertiliser workers picketed the Tara Terminal to put pressure on Gouldings to provide better redundancy payments.
