The implementation of the Interconnector, including the submission of an application for a Railway Order, is a matter for Iarnród Éireann in the first instance. Transport 21 provides for completion of the Interconnector by 2015. I understand from Iarnród Éireann that it has completed the preliminary design of the project, and is now proceeding to detailed design and the preparation of an application for a railway order. The company aims to submit the application to An Bord Pleanála in 2009 under the Planning and Development (Strategic Infrastructure) Act 2006, with a view to the commencement of work in 2010, subject to an enforceable Railway Order.
