From the Inspector's Report and the Board's Order, it looks like the presence of either railway line hasn't made much difference to the outcome. Bus service to DUB seems to be more their worry.

EDIT: Bing Map of the area

And rightly so give there's no rail link between DUB and Heston Station.

You'd pretty much get the person to Athone via a bus, M1, M50, M4 and M6 in the time it would take to get to Hueston and board (buy ticket and wait for next service) a train. 80 mins.

It's a bit cart before the horse to think about expanding the railline unless their is an efficient rail connection from the airport though which people will transit.

Both projects (Trading Hub, Rail link to DUB airport) seem fanciful at the moment.
