As the Deputy may be aware, the National Transport Authority (NTA) has statutory responsibility for the planning and development of public transport infrastructure in the Greater Dublin Area.

In November 2023, in response to the on-going issues with anti-social behaviour and vandalism of the existing temporary lift and stairwell on lands to the east of Clongriffin DART station, the NTA, Fingal County Council, Iarnród Éireann and Richmond Homes, commissioned AECOM to undertake a feasibility and options selection study.

The study considers options that will provide safe, reliable and robust access to Clongriffin DART station and across the rail line, serving as a connection between the communities to the east and west of the railway line and providing access to bus services and other amenities.

Noting the NTA's responsibility in this matter and the specific issue raised by the Deputy, I have referred the Deputy's questions to the NTA for a more detailed reply. Please contact my private office if you do not receive a reply within 10 days.
