Irish Rail will begin building the country's newest train station today.
Pelletstown Station will be located in the Cabra area, and will cost about €10 million.
When it's open in 18 months' time, trains will reach the city centre in just 12 minutes.
Barry Kenny is spokesperson for Irish Rail. He says it will be the 145th station on the network;
"Pelletstown Station is between Ashtown and Broombridge on the Dublin to Maynooth line. It's obviously a very growing and busy commuter area, the existing community of Ashington and the new community of Royal Canal Park."
The new station will be up and running in the summer of 2021.
