The Kishoge station, on the Kildare line between Clondalkin and Adamstown, was completed in 2009 and was intended to serve a new community at Clonburris, planned as the next new west Dublin suburb after Adamstown.
It was intended the station would be brought into operation to coincide with the phased completion of the new apartment blocks. However, while the station was finished in 2009, no construction had started on the residential scheme ahead of the property crash.As the State emerged from the recession, the council decided to revise its plans for Clonburris, which remained as a large, undeveloped landbank of 265 hectares to the north and south of the rail line.
Irish Rail said it would open the Kishoge station in December, but a spokesman said, “extensive works” were needed to refurbish and upgrade the station. These would cost about €3.8 million, he said, more than half the original €6.35 million cost of the station.
