Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 10 October 2023
83. Deputy John Brady asked the Minister for Transport to provide an update on the public consultation process for the DART+ Coastal South project; if he will provide a timeframe for the project; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [44131/23]
View answerAs the Deputy may be aware, as Minister for Transport I have responsibility for policy and overall funding of public transport in Ireland, including in relation to the rail network. The National Transport Authority, or NTA, has statutory responsibility for the planning and development of public transport infrastructure in the Greater Dublin Area, including, in consultation with Iarnród Éireann, the DART+ programme.
Noting the NTA's responsibility in this matter and the specific issues 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.
