Question 1258: To ask the Minister for Transport if he will ensure that Irish Rail open up the Phoenix Park Tunnel to commuters as soon as the capacity to receive the trains is made available by the completion of the Docklands Station in March 2007. [2241/07]

Iarnród Éireann plan to open the new Docklands station in March 2007 and additional commuter services will be introduced on the Maynooth line. I understand that the rail line to the new station cannot be accessed by trains from the Phoenix Park tunnel line and to do so would require major reconstruction and remodelling of the railway at Glasnevin Junction.
