Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 21 March 2024
153. Deputy James Lawless asked the Minister for Transport if he will provide a progress update on the execution of the DART + Programme and in particular the Dart West and Dart South West programmes; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [8008/24]
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 the DART+ programme.
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.
