The green light has been given for the major redevelopment of Oranmore train station.
The long-planned works include the addition of a second platform and a 1km section of double-track, or loop, to increase capacity.
The project is worth €12m, and it's now received the stamp of approval from city and county planners.
It's also understood that extra carparking is being looked at separately.
