 The development of this station was subsequently delayed, and by 2013 funding and planning for a number of proposed stations (including Kilbarry) was scrapped.By early 2017, it was confirmed that the station's construction had been "permanently" "shelved", with no plans to refund developers or individuals who had paid the levies charged to fund the construction.The Cork Metropolitan Area Draft Transport Strategy 2040, a public consultation document published by the National Transport Authority in May 2019, included "Blackpool/Kilbarry" as one of several possible train station locations in the area.
