Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport

Greater Dublin Area Transport Strategy 2022-2042: National Transport Authority

Mr. Hugh Creegan:

It is hoped construction works can start. We have to go through a planning process and, we hope, come out the other side successfully. We are assuming it will take two years or so to do that, which is the length of time previous projects have taken. Some of the advance construction works will possibly start, assuming the project is approved, in 2025, but there is a long period of construction for this project. It will be after 2030, probably in the window of 2031 to 2034, before it is fully complete.
