It is positive to hear from Mr. Meade that he is ambitious for that project and that he is planning to deliver it as quickly as possible. There are a number of junctures at which Irish Rail will go to Government in 2026 and, in my opinion, the Government of the day needs to be ready to support the project and deliver it as quickly as possible.. There is an indication it could be delivered by 2029 or 2030, which is significantly in advance of what is referenced in the greater Dublin area transport strategy. That is positive news for me and I am sure for the commuters in County Meath, Dunshaughlin included.
