Kilmallock railway station

Kilmallock railway station was a station in County Limerick, Ireland. It was on the main Dublin to Cork line,[1] serving the small town of Kilmallock. It is around 800m south-east of the town centre. The station was built in 1849, originally by the Great Southern and Western Railway. It was closed in March 1976.[1]

Much of the original 1849 station building (on the up side of the line) still exists, but became derelict[2] having been abandoned when the station closed in 1976.[1][3] Although there have been many calls by councillors etc. to repurpose the building in some way, and although some repairs were done in the early 2020s, Limerick Council issued a derelict site notice in June 2025. As at 2025 Irish Rail have no plans to reinstate rail services at the station.[3]
