Irish Channel Tunnel

Manchester Dispatch 11th November 1919.
From the Kearney Files.

Irish Channel Tunnel.

The Irish Tunnel Scheme  mentioned in the report of The Select Committee on Transport,is anything but a new idea. Mr Chalmers Kearney a consulting engineer to the Ministry of Munitions,tells me that although the committee is "unable at present to make recommendations". There has been a full scheme for a High-Speed submarine railway to Ireland under consideration for a considerable time. Carried out in all its details. It would reduce the journey from London to Galway to just over 4 hours! Mr Kearney, who is a well known inventor, has a new channel tunnel scheme at present before the Government.
