As the Deputy may be aware, the Limerick Shannon Metropolitan Area Transport Strategy (LSMATS) was prepared by the National Transport Authority (NTA) in collaboration with Limerick City and County Council, Clare County Council, and Transport Infrastructure Ireland, with the cooperation of Iarnród Éireann.

Proposals for investment in rail under LSMATS include:

• A new rail station at Moyross;
• The reopening of the Limerick-Shannon Foynes line for freight services;
• A new station at Ballysimon, along with park and ride facilities;
• Increasing the frequency of services on the Ballybrophy line to two trains hourly;
• Increasing the frequency of services on the Ennis line to three trains hourly;
• Dual tracking of the line from Limerick Junction to Colbert Station;
