Since 1st December 2009, public transport projects in the Greater Dublin Area (GDA) come under the remit of the National Transport Authority (NTA). I understand that Iarnród Éireann have a number of programmes underway which are expected to be completed by the end of 2011 including the Car Parking Expansion and the Platform Renewal Programmes. The Elimination of Speed Restrictions project at Limerick junction is expected to be completed by mid 2011.

My Department is funding an ongoing programme of bus priority (Green Routes) and park & ride measures in the regional cities of Cork, Galway, Limerick and Waterford. It is a matter for the local authorities in each city to prioritise projects.

Terminal 2, Dublin Airport is completed and will open on 19 November 2010.
