After selling Adare train station for €216k just over a decade ago, Irish Rail pays €2m to buy it back for temporary Ryder Cup platform
Irish Rail has bought back the station house and grounds at Adare's former train station for €2 million to accommodate a temporary station for the Ryder Cup, prompting a rail advocacy group to question spending public funds on a temporary platform rather than a longer-term solution. According to the Property Price Register, the station was sold for €2 million at the end of last year, after being sold in 2013 for just €216,121.
