The Dublin City Centre Transport Study, which was recently published jointly by the National Transport Authority (NTA) and Dublin City Council, comprises a set of proposals to enhance overall movement in the city and to cater for increased usage.  It seeks to address the imminent transport issues facing the core city centre area, to facilitate the implementation of the Dublin City Council Development Plan and to safeguard the future growth of the city. A public consultation is currently under way on the Study. 

Noting the NTA's involvement in the matter, I have referred the Deputy's question to the NTA for direct reply.  Please advise my private office if you don't receive a reply within 10 working days.
