Children’s Competition to name the new Dun Laoghaire Harbour Tourist Train.

James the Tourist Train has just moved to Dun Laoghaire Harbour. Mrs Mary Hanafin, Minister of Tourism Culture and Sport, was one of the first passengers on board when she came along to launch the train when it arrived in its new home on Monday the 5th of July.
