Mallow Station is the junction (on the main line between Dublin and Cork) for the Kerry line to Tralee via Killarney. An application has been put forward to Iarnród Éireann by Kerry County Council inquiring as to the possibility of changing the official name of Mallow train station to Kerry Junction. KCC have been getting increasingly worried about a downturn in tourist numbers travelling to Kerry by rail. A study carried out on behalf of KCC found that tourists intending to travel to Kerry by train often end up in Cork by mistake!
