Cavan Rail

In geography we were learning about Ireland's rail network. We discovered that there used to be a railway station in Cavan. Can anyone tell us where exactly the railway station was, and where the track went to after Cavan?

Roger Casement's boat?

What was the name of the boat that the Irish Volunteers were using to smuggle arms into Ireland before the 1916 Rising? It was intercepted and scuppered by the Bristish off the coast of County Kerry 3 days before the Rising was due to take place.
This is a photo of divers inspecting the wreck of Roger Casement's boat.
