109. To ask the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport if he supports the integration of a new DART station at Croke Park; if he will engage with Irish Rail, an organisation (details supplied) and other relevant state agencies to proactively facilitate the development of this station, considering Irish Rail's ownership of the railway frontage and the willingness of the organisation to yield additional land required for the station; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

As the Deputy may be aware, the National Transport Authority (NTA) has responsibility for the planning and development of public transport infrastructure, including, in consultation with Iarnród Éireann, any proposed new train stations.
Noting the NTA's responsibility in this matter and the specific issues raised by the Deputy, I have referred the Deputies' questions to the NTA for a more detailed reply. Please contact my private office if you do not receive a reply within 10 days.
