Vote 31 - Transport, Tourism and Sport (Revised) (18 Apr 2018) Catherine Murphy: I have a number of questions on this programme. The introduction of the third Luas line has exposed a capacity constraint in the city centre in terms of the amount of surface space to be shared. A project that is not included in the national development plan is the DART underground. The Minister referred to how every part of the country was accessible, but the place that is probably the...

- Select Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Estimates for Public Services 2018
Vote 31 - Transport, Tourism and Sport (Revised) (18 Apr 2018) Catherine Murphy: The Phoenix Park tunnel was always regarded as a temporary measure. With speeds and so forth, it does not equate with a DART underground. We already have a problem with capacity on surface rail.

Vote 31 - Transport, Tourism and Sport (Revised) (18 Apr 2018) Catherine Murphy: -----but this is infrastructure one would build for future generations. Some of the tunnels used as part of the London Underground are almost Victorian. It would be a long-term investment. Was the business case revisited? Is it even possible to revisit it? Did the Minister examine it in the context of the national development plan and was such an investment in such infrastructure...

Vote 31 - Transport, Tourism and Sport (Revised) (18 Apr 2018) Catherine Murphy: I received a reply from the National Transport Authority in January last year. It stated that in the case of heavy rail, the National Transport Authority and Irish Rail were in discussions on a fleet strategy for the overall rail network, that the exact details of the fleet strategy were expected to be agreed to in the following months and that it was expected to commence the procurement...

- Select Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Estimates for Public Services 2018
Vote 31 - Transport, Tourism and Sport (Revised) (18 Apr 2018) Catherine Murphy: I thought we were going to be given some of the details in the context of the budget. I would like to know how much a train would cost and the amount included in the budget for such expenditure. It is welcome that there is an increased budget and that there is money available to buy rolling stock, buses and all the rest, but we need to know exactly what is included in the budget in order...

- Select Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Estimates for Public Services 2018
Vote 31 - Transport, Tourism and Sport (Revised) (18 Apr 2018) Catherine Murphy: I would welcome receiving a note on the matter. Having been a member of the Committee of Public Accounts for many years and forensically examined matters, in his ministerial role, I would not have expected the NTA to come to the Minister with a global figure but would have stated the amount it wanted. I would have expected the Minister to have taken the approach of asking what he would get...

Vote 31 - Transport, Tourism and Sport (Revised) (18 Apr 2018) Catherine Murphy: I do not understand why the Minister cannot give us a flavour of it.
