History

Opened by the Limerick and Ennis Railway, at the beginning of the 20th century, the station was run by the Great Southern and Western Railway (GSWR). It was absorbed by the Great Southern and Western Railway Company, and so joined the Great Southern Railways.

The station was then nationalised, passing on to the Córas Iompair Éireann as a result of the Transport Act 1944[1] which took effect from 1 January 1945. The passenger service ceased but freight traffic passed on to the Iarnród Éireann in 1986.
