Evaluations of the short to medium term suburban rail investment proposals for Dublin are being finalised by CIE. Detailed work on transport investment requirements for the period 2000 to 2006 in the greater Dublin area is also being completed by the Dublin Transportation Office. Both the CIE and DTO work is expected to be completed this month.
CIE is in the process of engaging consultants to carry out the feasibility and costing studies on the longer term proposals for suburban rail and I expect these studies to be completed by year end.
