Climate Change Targets 2026-2030: Discussion (Resumed)
2:00 am
Mr. Hugh Creegan:
We got our planning approval for DART+ West some time ago, as the Deputy is aware. There were two judicial reviews in respect of it. They have both been resolved, but the approval for the DART+ scheme is separate to the depot. Irish Rail is virtually at the end of an option selection process. We should be submitting a planning application for a new depot by quarter 2 of 2026.
