The issues raised by the Deputy will be addressed by the relevant implementation agencies generally as part of the statutory approval process for each project. Most of the major projects will require motorway schemes, railway orders or compulsory purchase orders and substantial progress has already been made in this regard. For example, the statutory approval process for all the projects on the five interurban motorways are now complete. Recent months have seen Railway Orders signed for a number of projects such as the Kildare rail upgrade and the Luas extensions to Cherrywood and Docklands.
