Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport

All-Island Strategic Rail Review: Iarnród Éireann

Mr. Jim Meade:

We have set up a team in Cork which Mr. Cronin will head up. I am happy to say the NTA has also put some people into Cork for this project. We have housed them all together as one operating unit, which was the right thing to do, in the one office space. We have a timeline to spend the resilience money for Cork. We have three contracts to have in place this year; the double tracking from Glounthaune to Midleton and the resignalling and through platform. We are on target to deliver those contracts this year and to get that resilience funding spent in the time envelope we have been allowed. We are full steam ahead with Cork and happy to be so.
