Traffic Congestion in the Greater Dublin Area and Related Matters: Discussion
9:30 am
Mr. Hugh Creegan:
Yes, but I do not know that speed off the top of my head. It is a slower journey. I agree it is not as optimal as building a tunnel and providing a faster route but the cost of building the tunnel is estimated to be approximately €2 billion. I think people would welcome a DART service every ten minutes out to the Kildare line. That is our ambition. Even if this journey takes ten minutes longer than would be the case if there was a tunnel in place it is still a massive benefit for the travelling public. This is what we aim to deliver.
