Appraisal
This former railway station, retaining much of its original form and structure, serves as a reminder of the extensive rail network which once spanned the country. New Pallas Grean was a stop on the Limerick to Waterford line that was built by the Great Southern and Western Rwilway company. It is an interesting example of a modest rural station, complete with well maintained goods shed, which provides context to the site.
