The owners of Ashtown Stables have said that they are "delighted" after confirmation that The DART+ West project has re-assessed and will go back to consultation, with the stables to remain open.
It comes after a campaign was started to save the beloved stables from closure after Irish Rail under the National Transport Agency proposed to provide a new vehicular road tunnel under the Royal Canal at Ashtown Stables.
However, after feedback from locals during a public consultation in October, Irish Rail re-analysed the option selection process for the provision of a new crossing of the railway canal corridor at Ashtown, due to the closure of the existing railway level crossing.
