Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport

Large-scale Capital Projects: Transport Infrastructure Ireland

Mr. Peter Walsh:

I thank Mr. O'Neill. The project has to go through two more approval gates. It has gone through approval gate 1, which allows it to be submitted to An Bord Pleanála. Under the new guidelines, approval gate 2 is a matter for the Minister for Transport. This is where we will seek approval to go to tender for the project. Once the tenders are in, there is approval gate 3 that may have to go to Cabinet for approval, depending on the value of those tenders. I should not underestimate those approval gates.
