It is being removed as it is currently not being used. To keep it would involve unnecessary maintenance costs as well as extra spending to include it in the mini-CTC signalling project currently being installed on the Dublin to Galway line. To include it in the new mini-CTC signalling system now would cost between €500,000 and €750,000. To add it in later if there is demand, would cost no more and would save the maintenance costs in the meantime.
