Decisions in relation to the redevelopment of Killucan station are a matter for Iarnród Éireann in the first instance. I understand from the company that Westmeath and Meath County Councils have submitted to them the results of a feasibility study on the re-opening of a station at Killucan or Hill of the Down. I understand that Iarnród Éireann are currently considering this report and will respond in due course to the Councils.
