That proposal is not about Dunshauglin, but more about Ratoath. Ratoath residents are much more likely to go from Ratoath to a station east of Dunshauglin, than one west of Dunshauglin.

Cost wise, I suspect both the article and the advocates for this particular proposal are looking with rose tinted glasses as the route is longer, across virgin ground (not an existing alignment with existing bridges) and will have to cross the M3 twice.

It has to be said that the planning for Ratoath, Dunshaughlin, Ashbourne and Dunboyne (less so) has been appalling.
