Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 4 December 2018
596. Deputy Catherine Martin asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport when initial works will take place on the DART upgrade of the Maynooth M3 Parkway commuter line; when a planning application will be submitted; when works will commence; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [50742/18]
View answerAs Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport, I have responsibility for policy and overall funding in relation to public transport. The NTA has statutory responsibility for the planning and development of public transport infrastructure in the Greater Dublin Area, including the upgrade and electrification of lines under the DART Expansion Programme.
Noting the NTA's responsibility for implementation of public transport in the Greater Dublin Area, I have referred the Deputy's question to the NTA for a more detailed reply. I ask the Deputy to contact my private office if she does not receive a reply within ten days.
