The National Transport Authority (NTA) received notification of planning approval by An Bord Pleanála in October 2024 for the Lucan to City Centre Scheme. The Lucan to City Scheme is part of the BusConnects Dublin programme, a key element of the Government's policy to improve public transport. The Core Bus Corridor is routed via the N4 (passing the Liffey Valley Shopping Centre) as far as Junction (M50) and via the R148 along Palmerstown bypass.

In light of the NTA's responsibility in this are, I have forwarded the Deputy's question to the NTA for direct reply. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a response within ten working day.

Further upgrades to the road, including works such as those referred to by the Deputy, would be a matter for the local authority as the statutory roads authority.
