Transport 21 provides for the re-opening of the railway line to Navan on a phased basis. The position on Phase 1 (Clonsilla-Dunboyne), which is due to be complete in late 2009, is that Iarnród Éireann expects to complete preliminary design work by June next and to submit an application for a Railway Order to An Bord Pleanála later this year. A scoping/feasibility study on Phase 2 is due to be completed by August next.
