I took a look at Ardrahan as I passed through it yesterday, apart from one development of about 25 houses the celtic tiger appears to have passed it by. The railway line is a good bit from the village so if people are going to get the train they might as well drive the couple of miles to Gort.

It's quite simple to reserve the land for a station, but not build it unless development requires it.

Ardrahan is ideal is a "new" town. There is nothing there at the moment so they can design a nice 5000 person town around a centre with station, shops and related facilities. Its not like other places where existing low density development makes sustainable development tricky.
