Irish Railway Record Society

'Founded in October 1946 to bring together people with a love and interest for Ireland’s railways, so that information on the subject might pass more freely between the members, and be effectually recorded for the benefit of future enthusiasts and historians. From a small nucleus has grown a Society with over 1,000 members residing in all parts of the world, with branches in Cork, London and Manchester, a result brought about by the vision and dedication of the group who founded it and those who followed on with the devoted work required for the Society’s development.'
