Construction contracts for the Kildare Route upgrade project and the works thereof are matters for Iarnród Éireann and I have no role in relation to them. I understand from Iarnród Éireann that 2 contracts have been placed and that work has commenced.

My Department has allocated €45.5m to Iarnród Éireann to fund work on the project in 2007. The funding allocation to the project in 2008 and subsequent years will be determined in the light of progress on the project.
