Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 7 July 2004
99 Mr. Crawford asked the Minister for Transport the plans he has to reopen a passenger train service to Navan, County Meath, and extend that service to Kingscourt in County Cavan to service the many commuters that live in the Navan area and east Cavan; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

View answerAs I have stated in response to previous questions in regard to the rail line from Navan to Kingscourt, the strategic rail review examined the viability of a railway link to Navan and concluded that there was no economic case for re-opening the line. However, Irish Rail informs me that it is currently examining the feasibility of reopening a short spur from Clonsilla to Dunboyne which could open up park and ride opportunities for car commuters from County Meath.
