Dunleer railway station is a disused railway station on the Dublin-Belfast railway line in Dunleer, County Louth Ireland. Opened by the Dublin and Belfast Junction Railway in 1851, [1] the station was the major stop between Dundalk and Drogheda. [2] The station survived longer than most following the rationalisation of the railway network,[ citation needed] until it was closed by Córas Iompair Éireann in 1984.
In the late 20th century, Dunleer's population expanded and it "developed into a local transport hub". [3] As of 2010, the local Dunleer Community Development Board were calling for the railway station to be reopened. [3] While the possibility of the station being rebuilt was referenced in local development plans published in 2009 by Louth County Council, [4] as of 2021 the National Transport Authority reportedly had "no plans" for a station at Dunleer.
