Committee on Infrastructure and National Development Plan Delivery
Planning, Approving and Delivering Transport Infrastructure Projects: Discussion
2:00 am
Ms Geraldine Fitzpatrick:
That project is progressing well. It has European funding as well, which has rewarded the progression of it. It is more or less at the stage of detailed design, with a view to getting ready to submit a business case. Once that happens, subject to approval, it will then go for planning approval. Obviously, we deliver on policy. The climate action plan is a part of national policy and therefore has to be considered in the development of the project. As part of the project, we are looking at other things, as the Senator mentioned. We look at the integration with public transport and active travel as part of the project. The project is advancing well. We are hoping the business case will be submitted and that we will be in a position to go to the planning stage next year.
