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