I was delighted to be able to officially launch the consultation period on DART+ West recently and welcome the simultaneous publication of material relating to the DART+ programme generally as well.

DART+ is a transformative programme of investment which will provide a sustainable, electrified, reliable, frequent rail service significantly increasing capacity on all the rail corridors serving the Greater Dublin Area, through investment in infrastructure and a fleet of new trains. The National Transport Authority (NTA) has statutory responsibility for the planning and development of the DART+ Programme which also includes new DART stations and the electrification of lines.

Noting the NTA's responsibility in the matter, I have referred the Deputy's question to the NTA for a more detailed direct reply. Please contact my private office if you do not receive a reply within 10 days.
