1613. To ask the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport the reason platform 10 in Heuston Station, Dublin 8 has been left out of proposals to open the Phoenix Park tunnel to commuter trains despite the long-standing policy to create modes of different public transport systems, and that the variety of services available at Heuston Station, Luas, Bus Átha Cliath, Bus Éireann and taxi would not be available at the nearest other stations on the commuter routes going through the tunnel, namely Cherry Orchard and Drumcondra Stations; and the steps he will take to correct this omission.

As Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport I have responsibility for policy and the overall funding of public transport. Responsibility for the development public transport infrastructure in the Greater Dublin Area, including train stations, is a function of the National Transport Authority (NTA). Therefore, I have referred the Deputy's question to the NTA for direct reply.  Please advise my private office if you do not receive a reply within 10 working days.
