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, the DART+ South West project.

Following the submission of a Railway Order application for DART+ South-West to An Bord Pleanála in March 2023, full planning approval was granted in November 2024. Work is now progressing with a view to moving this project into procurement and thereafter into the construction stage in the coming years.

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