The station had been planned to be built as part of the second phase of reinstatement of the Clonsilla-Navan line. However, as of 2012, these plans were deferred due to the reduction in the Exchequer capital investment programme. Dunshauglin was intended to be the first station on the Phase 2 section of the route, after the M3 Parkway park and ride station. The proposed route plans include 34 km of railway line, with stations at Dunshaughlin, Kilmessan, Navan town centre and a further station on the northern edge of Navan. In 2016, the National Transport Authority ruled that there was not a sufficient number of commuters to warrant a new station, but agreed to conduct a new study; a report was due be released in mid-2021. County councillors made representations to "ensure that the 'actual' population of Dunshaughlin" would be used in the determination of the need for a station.
