Editing Cahir (section)

==Location and access==
For much of the twentieth century, Cahir stood at an intersection of two busy national roadways: the [[Dublin]] to [[Cork (city)|Cork]] [[N8 road (Ireland)|N8]], and the [[Limerick]] to [[Waterford]] [[N24 road (Ireland)|N24]]. The N8 was realigned in 1991 to run west of the town, while the old road through it was renumbered the [[R670 road|R670]]. Traffic from the N24 still left the town badly congested, however, until October 2007 when this road was also realigned to bypass Cahir to the north and east. The same road improvement scheme saw major changes to the N8 corridor: a new motorway, the [[M8 motorway (Ireland)|M8]], was constructed west of the town between 2006 and 2008. Access to Cahir from this motorway is gained at Junctions 10 and 11.

Cahir is on the [[Limerick–Waterford railway line]]. The town's [[Cahir railway station|railway station]] opened on 1 May 1852.<ref>{{cite web | title=Cahir station | work=Railscot&nbsp;— Irish Railways | url=http://www.railscot.co.uk/Ireland/Irish_railways.pdf | access-date=2007-09-07 | archive-date=2 March 2011 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110302022802/http://www.railbrit.co.uk/Ireland/Irish_railways.pdf | url-status=live }}</ref> There are two trains a day to [[Tipperary (town)|Tipperary]] and [[Limerick Junction]] and two to [[Clonmel]], [[Carrick on Suir]] and [[Waterford]].
