The only specific the Minister gave was to indicate that Kishogue station would open in 2020. Clonburris is located between Clondalkin and Lucan where, in many regards, there are considerable transport infrastructure deficits currently. The Minister's recently announced plan clearly indicated that the Lucan Luas line would not open until after 2027. I am concerned about phasing the infrastructure to which the Minister referred. The timelines are not very clear and the local authority is trying to build 8,500 units of accommodation without knowing when additional buses will be made available, whether they will be on city centre or orbital routes and at what stage they will be made available. The Minister said the plans will evolve and that the NTA will stay in close contact with South Dublin County Council but that is not sufficient to plan a town of this magnitude and to make it sustainable in the future.
