The matter to which the Deputy refers is an operational one for the company itself to consider. However, I understand from Iarnród Éireann that there are no plans to extend the DART from Greystones to Wicklow.

Question 307: To ask the Minister for Transport his plans to develop a second rail line to Greystones; if he has examined the feasibility of developing such a line; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [27619/05]

I understand that Iarnród Éireann has no plans to develop a second railway line between Bray and Greystones. The company informs me that there are significant physical obstacles to providing a double track because a large portion of the line is in tunnel. While there are operating restrictions because of the single track, Iarnród Éireann provides seven morning commuter services between Greystones and Dublin.
