Kilbarry railway station

Kilbarry Station was a proposed railway station in Ireland. It was planned to be located in the northern suburbs of Cork City on the main Cork-Dublin line, as part of the extended Cork Suburban Rail project.

Irish Rail applied for planning permission for construction of the station on 4 January 2008.[1] However, because of the post-2008 Irish economic downturn, it was announced that construction of the station was to be delayed.[2] By October 2013 funding and planning for the development of a number of proposed stations (including Kilbarry) was effectively scrapped.[3] By late 2016 and early 2017, it was confirmed that the station's construction had been "permanently" "shelved",[4][5] with no plans to refund developers or individuals who had paid the levies charged to fund the construction.[5]
