Ms Anne Graham:

In terms of rail transport infrastructure, the only role the NTA plays is in the greater Dublin area. We only manage and plan for the rail infrastructure in the greater Dublin area. We do not have the statutory powers to look at rail infrastructure beyond the greater Dublin area. That would be for the Department of Transport, Tourism and Sport to look at.

For the Navan line, we will use general census information and information from POWSCAR, place of work, school or college - census of anonymised records, which shows how people are travelling to work and education. We use those data and projections on those data to plan for future infrastructure.
