Clare County Council has given the green light to construction on a new train station at Crusheen.
The development will link up with the existing Ennis-Athenry rail line, and consist of a new 90m platform, a 17 bay car park, bicycle shelter, a room for equipment and associated infrastructure.
Government funding is now to be sought to fund the construction.
North Clare Fianna Fail Councillor Michael Kelly is confident the station will be a success, now that it has finally got the go ahead.
