I received the application for a railway order for the Kildare route project on 5 October 2005. I directed that a public inquiry be held into that application. The inquiry took place from the 24 January 2006 to 2 February 2006. It is a matter for the inspector who held the public inquiry as to when he submits his report.

Question 166: To ask the Minister for Transport if, further to Question No. 897 of 25 January 2006, he will make a request to Iarnród Éireann to bring forward the city centre resignalling project; and if the design work was outsourced in view of the workload in Iarnród Éireann at present. [6178/06]

The detailed planning of individual rail development projects, including the city centre resignalling project, is a matter for Iarnród Éireann in the first instance. I am informed that while the design work involved will be carried out primarily by Iarnród Éireann in-house staff, the company intends to tender for additional resources as necessary, in a support capacity.
