Written answers

Metro West, which will be built on a phased basis, is intended to link Tallaght with Clondalkin, Lucan and Blanchardstown and connect with Metro North at Ballymun. The RPA have made good progress on identifying feasible alignments and I understand that the RPA will commence public consultation on the route options before the end of this year. Thereafter, it is expected that a preferred alignment will be identified early in 2007, pending the outcome of this stage of public consultation.

In line with the timeframes set out in Transport 21, Metro West is scheduled for completion in 2014.
