108. Deputy Thomas Gould asked the Minister for Transport the timeline for completion of the train station proposed in Kilbarry, County Cork, under Project Ireland 2040. [37471/20]
View answerThe Deputy will be aware that the Cork Metropolitan Area Transport Strategy (CMATS) was published earlier this year. It was developed by the National Transport Authority (NTA) in collaboration with Transport Infrastructure Ireland (TII), Cork City Council and Cork County Council. I note that it lays out a number of significant public transport proposals including the provision of a future commuter station at Blackpool/Kilbarry.
Noting the NTA's responsibility in the matter, I have referred the Deputy's question to the NTA for a direct reply on the timeline for completion of the proposed train station. Please contact my private office if you do not receive a reply within 10 days.
