Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport

A Vision for Public Transport: Discussion

1:30 pm

Mr. Hugh Creegan:

I will take the first part of that anyway. The orbital route the Deputy mentioned was something that was called the Leinster orbital route. It was sometimes referred to as the outer orbital route and it passed from Drogheda, Navan and Trim to Naas. It was designed by the then National Roads Authority, NRA, a number of years ago. That is incorporated in our transport strategy as a corridor that should be preserved, reflecting a point that was made earlier. On its own, it has a €2 billion price tag against it and we do not see it happening in the short term.
