I propose to take Questions Nos. 160, 165 and 201 together.
As the Deputies are aware Iarnród Éireann commissioned a financial and economic appraisal of a proposed reopening of Phases 2 and 3 of the Western Rail Corridor, and, in late 2019, submitted a draft copy of that appraisal to my Department.
I am informed that in recent days a final copy of the report has now been received.
As was signalled publicly at the time of the commissioning of the appraisal, and, as is required under the Public Spending Code (PSC), my Department has been reviewing the documentation that has been received and engaging with Iarnród Éireann and the consultants as required during this review.
Once that review is complete the matter will then be brought to Government for its decision and the report published as soon as practical thereafter.
