Dunkettle railway station was a railway station to the east of Cork City in Ireland. Originally part of the Cork and Youghal Railway, it opened on 10 November 1859 and was closed on 7 February 1966.[1][2]
In May 1911, an assistant platelayer was struck by a train travelling from Cork to Queenstown (Cobh). He was transported to hospital in Cork City but died shortly afterwards.[3]
In the early 21st century, it was proposed to reopen a station at Dunkettle on the Cobh line of the Cork Suburban Rail network. These plans were refused planning permission in 2009.[4] As of mid-2024, an updated strategic transport plan (including a possible station at Dunkettle) was reportedly projected for planning submission "by the end of [2025]".[5]
