Dundalk's Clarke Station has been named overall best train station in Ireland at the annual Iarnród Éireann Best Station Awards.

They were presented by Transport Minister Paschal Donohoe.

Irish Rail says the station plays a key role in the commuter town of Dundalk and the surrounding area.

"The busy commuter and Belfast Enterprise station serves over 1,000 customers every day and the staff were commended for their customer service and pride in their station. The station also is home to a beautiful railway museum that is enjoyed by locals and visitors alike".

David Franks, chief executive of Iarnród Éireann said: "Winning the title of Best Station in Ireland is a high honour and I congratulate Anthony Monaghan, Martin Dullaghan and all the staff who work so hard to give our customers a positive experience as they pass through the station every day".

The winners are chosen by public vote, with almost 4,000 customers rating their stations as part of this year's awards.

Anthony and Martin collected the award on behalf of Dundalk, along with district manager, Tom Ayres.

Dundalk also collected the title of best Leinster station, beating off competition from fellow nominees Mullingar and Carlow.

Munster saw Millstreet taking the top title this year, while Mallow and Templemore stations were highly commended by customers.

Westport was once again victorious in the Connacht category.

In the commuter category, overall winners last year Hazelhatch took the top award in this category, and Balbriggan and Arklow were highly commended.
