I propose to take Questions Nos. 205, 206 and 207 together.

I have no doubt that the Deputy welcomes the transformative programme of investment planned under DART+ which will provide a sustainable, electrified, reliable and frequent rail service significantly increasing capacity on all the rail corridors serving the Greater Dublin Area, through investment in infrastructure and new fleet.

I was very pleased to offically launch the non-statutory consultation period on DART+ West recently and welcome the online publication of a significant amount of material related to that consultation.

I would note that the National Transport Authority (NTA) has statutory responsibility for the planning and development of the DART+ Programme which also includes the public consultation underway.

Noting the NTA's responsibility in the matter, I have referred the Deputy's question to the NTA, in consultation with Iarnród Éireann (IÉ), for a more detailed direct reply. Please contact my private office if you do not receive a reply within 10 days.
