Kilbarry


Kilbarry is a townland in the civil parish of Saint Anne's on the northside of Cork City in Ireland. Located close to the suburb of Blackpool, Kilbarry itself had just 56 residents in 2011. It is primarily zoned for commercial use, and an IDA Ireland business park occupies 190 of the townland's 300 acres. Delaney Rovers GAA also have a pitch at Kilbarry.

Railway halt

Formerly the site of a small rail yard and siding on the Dublin–Cork railway line, Irish Rail applied for planning permission to construct a station at Kilbarry in 2008. The development of this station was subsequently delayed, and by 2013 funding and planning for a number of proposed stations was scrapped. By early 2017, it was confirmed that the station's construction had been "permanently" "shelved", with no plans to refund developers or individuals who had paid the levies charged to fund the construction. The Cork Metropolitan Area Draft Transport Strategy 2040, a public consultation document published by the National Transport Authority in May 2019, included "Blackpool/Kilbarry" as one of several possible train station locations in the area.
