🎙️ Inside Ceannt Station: conserving 175 years of heritage while constructing Ireland’s gateway to the western region

This episode of iProperty Radio goes on site at Galway’s Ceannt Station, recorded inside the newly opened train hall as services run around us. Host Carol Tallon is joined by Liam Boyce of Iarnród Éireann Irish Rail/ IE Architects, Darren Devane, Director of Building at BAM UK & Ireland, and Peter Cox, who has been conservation consultant on the project since 2021.

Originally built in the early 1850s to a design by railway architect John Skipton Mulvany, with cast iron by Richard Turner of Botanic Gardens fame, the station lost roughly half its original train hall in the 1950s to make way for bus maintenance. The current redevelopment reinstates that train hall and takes the station from two platforms to five, building capacity for Galway, the Western Rail Corridor and the wider region west of the Shannon.

This event which will provide a forum to reflect on the 2025 Built & Archaeological Heritage Sectoral Adaptation Plan, hear about strategic coordination and cross-sector collaboration to protect cultural heritage at a European level, and engage with case studies on protecting Ireland's natural and cultural heritage and adapting to current and future scenarios.
