Last week, Jim Meade the CEO of Iarnród Éireann told the transport committee that Crusheen:

is not currently in the funded plan we have from the Department. It is part of the all-island review. If the decision is taken to add a station there, it could be one of the quick wins of the review. Before the financial crash, a station design was drawn up for it ... It can be done, but it is a Government decision as to whether it will be funded.

Given the Minister's Department's ambitious transport emissions targets and given the fact Crusheen has the youngest demographic of any settlement in Clare, so patterns of a lifetime could be influenced, will the Department fund a railway station at Crusheen, which is just north of Ennis and is on the Limerick-Galway line?
