The station was planned by Fingal County Council as part of Hansfield Strategic Development Zone. [2] While the railway line was opened in September 2010 as planned, Hansfield station remained closed because no road access to the station from the surrounding housing estates existed. [3] When funding was provided in 2011 for the access road, [4] Iarnród Éireann took possession of land to proceed. The station opened on Friday 28 June 2013. [5]
