Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 23 September 2021
196. Deputy Réada Cronin asked the Minister for Transport if he will urgently examine creating a DART station at Kilcock, County Kildare within the new DART+West plans (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [45784/21]
View answerAs Minister for Transport, I have responsibility for policy and overall funding in relation to public transport. The National Transport Authority (NTA) has statutory responsibility for the planning and development of public transport infrastructure in the Greater Dublin Area, including the development and implementation of the DART+ Programme of which DART+ West is one element.
Noting the NTA's responsibility in the matter, I have referred the Deputy's question to the NTA for a more detailed reply to the specific questions asked. Please contact my private office if you do not receive a reply within 10 days.
In the interim and noting the ongoing public consultation for DART+ West, I encourage all interested parties to engage in this process.
