Committee on Transport
National Transport Authority: Engagement
2:00 am
Mr. Eoin Gillard:
The short answer is "Yes". While the railway order process has been ongoing, separate teams have been working on the development of the tender documents and procurement documents that need to go out. In advance of the main works contracts being tendered, advanced and enabling works are happening. The tender processes have already commenced but their work would have to follow the railway order permission. Dr. Sean Sweeney has been put in place as the programme director. He has put in place a strong leadership team who are experienced in delivering on procurement of this nature and subsequently in the delivery of these projects.
We have a high level of confidence in hitting those timelines, subject to the railway order coming through.
