Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport
BusConnects: National Transport Authority (Resumed)
Mr. Hugh Creegan:
I think the information is still available on our website. We undertook analysis of each of the sectors to identify the transport demand with all the information from the census and other sources. We decided on what we believed was the appropriate transport framework for the overall city. There is a rail line in Blanchardstown which will become a DART line, and bus services will be improved. We fully agree that the journey time from Blanchardstown to the city centre is too long and needs to be a whole lot shorter.
The core of the bus corridor project from Blanchardstown to the city centre is to do exactly that; therefore, we do not disagree with the Deputy.
