Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport

All-Island Strategic Rail Review: Iarnród Éireann

2:00 am

Ms Mary Considine:

I thank Deputy Currie for her good wishes. Significant work is under way. The all-island strategic rail review has two key elements. There is the link with Belfast. Under the current plans, we are out to procurement for a new fleet there, so that will significantly enhance capacity and allow us to swap out some of the older fleet and provide an enhanced service. We hope to be in a position to place orders by the end of the year and deliver the new fleet by 2029.
