The Keady Tunnel was built c1909 to take the proposed Ulster and Connacht Light Railway. The railway was to join Newry to Clifden. The route was to go through Bessbrook, Keady, Tynan, Maguiresbridge, Drumod, Roscommon, Tuam and Galway. However, the railway was not built and the tunnel is now used as a bus garage.
