History

Opened by the Athenry and Ennis Junction Railway, at the beginning of the 20th century the station was run by the Great Southern and Western Railway and then Great Southern Railways.

The station was then passed to the Coras Iompair Éireann as a result of the Transport Act 1944[1] which took effect from 1 January 1945. Passenger services ceased in 1976.

The site today

The line through the station was rebuilt as part of the Western Railway Corridor, the station reopening to passengers in March 2010.[2]
