Development

The station was initially built in 2009 for €6 million.^[5] It was the last of a series of new and upgraded stations to be built on the route to improve commuter services from the south-west of Dublin.^[6][7]

The station remained unopened for 15 years, with the railway network operator Iarnród Éireann stating that expected local development did not occur because of the post-2008 Irish economic downturn, and "there was a further delay due to the [COVID-19] pandemic".^[8]

It was reported in mid-2022 that the station would need refurbishment at a cost of €3.8 million before an anticipated station opening in late 2023, fourteen years after its original completion.^[8] By early 2023, it was suggested that this refurbishment could take place between March and November 2023, with the station then proposed to open in December 2023.^[9] However, in August 2023 it was reported that the opening would be delayed by at least "six more months".^[10]

In early August 2024, it was reported that – following refurbishment and some adjacent road realignment – the station would open later that month.^[2] The station opened on 26 August 2024.^[1]
