I understand from Iarnród Éireann that having examined a number of options, the board will decide shortly the preferred location for the construction of a new docklands railway station. I expect to receive proposals from the company, including construction cost, soon after board consideration.

Transport 21 provides that the Exchequer will fund construction of the new station. Subject to compliance with the statutory approval process, construction is expected to start in 2006 and be completed in 2009.
