Reopening Dunleer railway station
Senator Brennan urges the Transport Minister to reopen Dunleer station to serve commuters and students in the growing mid-Louth area.
-----that it is not going to happen in the future.
Dunleer railway station in County Louth is on the main commuter belt running from Dublin to Dundalk and Belfast. It has been closed for several years. In mid-Louth the towns of Dunleer and Ardee and the area in general have developed significantly over the past 15 or 20 years. I appeal to the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport to reopen the station.
Comment on this
Perhaps. The station should be opened for the benefit of people working in Dublin and students who travel to and from Dublin daily who now have to travel to Drogheda and Dundalk. It should be reconsidered as the town and the area have developed significantly in recent years. Will the Leader ask the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport, Deputy Varadkar, if he will do this?
