    Does anybody know why the shutters haven't being open for the last couple of months.

    It's really a pain in the ass queuing to get out of the station, up the stairs, across the road, down the stairs, up the steps.

    Is irish rail being cheap??? Not repairing the door/shutter?

    You have answered your own question there. They are broken and meant to have been repaired before xmas.

    The sign says that it is out of Irish rails control.

    Thanks for demanding it to be fixed mr taxpayer or we would still be waiting. Are you under the impression that Irish Rail have a room full of these shutters and have a gang of lads going around installing them?

    I have to wonder what out of Irish Rail's control means.

    It's been a while since I've used the underpass there... Does it lead out onto private land? Was a management company messing about with the access?

    The far side of the underpass is private land

    Did CIE not sell the land?

    It'd imagine it could or at least should have been part of the planning conditions to keep public access to the train station?

    Before we get too far into it, is there any evidence that the issue was a land thing? Seems more likely to me it was some kind of technical fault, and no maintenance contractors could be found before Christmas.
