Permission granted for train station redevelopment

WORK on re-developing Plunkett Station in Waterford could begin in a number of weeks following the local council’s decision to grant planning permission.

Iarnród Éireann’s 17 million re-development plan has been given the go-ahead, subject to 20 conditions, and will get under way in the near future if there is no appeal to An Bord Pleanála.

The work is expected to take about 18 months to complete.
