Written answers

Minister for Transport (Mr. Cullen)

I understand Iarnród Éireann is examining the feasibility study on the proposed Clonsilla-N3 interchange railway line, in consultation with Meath and Fingal county councils. The next step is for Iarnród Éireann to decide if and how it wishes to proceed with this project and I expect a report will be submitted to my Department in the near future. The question of my approval will only arise following the submission of that report.
