As the Deputy will be aware, as 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.
The scope of the DART+ Programme as will be progressed through the statutory planning system is as set out in the Transport Strategy for the Greater Dublin Area. However, the Deputy may wish to be aware that the NTA is currently consulting on revisions to the Transport Strategy and a public consultation period is open until early December. The draft Strategy published for public consultation does include proposals for a new DART station at Cabra and I would encourage the Deputy to make her views known on any such proposed stations as part of that public consultation process.
I expect to receive a final revised Strategy for my approval in Q1 2022.
