The design and implementation of this project, which provides for re-signalling in the city centre area, is a matter for Iarnród Éireann in the first instance. I understand from the company that it is expected that initial works will start this year and that the project will be completed in 2011. The project will increase the numbers of trains from the Northern Line through the city centre from 12 trains per hour at present to 17.
