Ms Anne Graham:

No. Our focus has been primarily on commuter services into the city, as in on the existing infrastructure, improving bus services especially in our regional cities and improving the priority for those services. That is our role on that.

On Dublin Airport and servicing it with a heavy rail line, in the lead up to developing the transport strategy for the greater Dublin area, we did a specific study on how Dublin Airport will be served by transport. Our recommendation, which was approved in the strategy, is that it be served by light rail not heavy rail and that in terms of serving the wider community in the Fingal area, the best option was a metro service serving both the airport and Swords. There is a commitment to examine whether heavy rail might be done but that would be after our transport strategy, which is 2035. That would be looked at again.
