Transport
Roscrea is well connected by bus routes with two Bus Éireann lines going through the town. Route 12 connects Dublin and Limerick while route 71 connects Athlone to Cork. A private bus contractor, JJ Kavanagh and Sons, provides extra bus services. Roscrea is connected to the Irish railway network on a branch from Limerick to Ballybrophy (where it joins the main Cork-Dublin line). At one time there was a branch from Roscrea to nearby Birr in County Offaly. Roscrea railway station opened on 19 October 1857.

Famous quotes containing the word transport:
“One may disavow and disclaim vices that surprise us, and whereto our passions transport us; but those which by long habits are rooted in a strong and ... powerful will are not subject to contradiction. Repentance is but a denying of our will, and an opposition of our fantasies.”
—Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
