Joint Oireachtas Committee on Rural and Community Development

Flooding at Ballycar on the Galway-Limerick Railway and Investment in Heavy Rail: Discussion (Resumed)

11:00 am

Mr. Jim Meade:

Yes, give or take.

Deputy Ó Cuív asked about a line to Dublin Airport. Currently under the NDP, there is no study to look at connecting to Dublin Airport. Our plans at the moment revolve around the aspects I have just spoken of: getting more fleet, increasing the capacity of fleet, moving to electric and electrifying the Maynooth line and across to Hazelhatch, and completing the four-tracking from Clondalkin into Heuston to unlock that side of the network, thereby giving us more capacity. We do not have anything on our books to plan for Dublin Airport at present and it is not on our radar. That is the honest answer.
