The long awaited installation of the second rain shelter at Sallins & Naas train station has finally gone ahead. I have campaigned for this since the station upgrade last year. With the numbers using the Dublin platform daily a single shelter was totally inadequate in any inclement weather.

Following repeated requests and recent media coverage Irish Rail contacted me last week to say they would finally put in place a second rain shelter at Sallins railway station. Before station upgrade we had two, but afterwards we were left with one, it didn’t make sense and people were getting wet daily, thankfully they are now remedying this.

Well, much better late than never and I thank Irish Rail for listening to my arguments and taking action.
