Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 4 May 2023
73. Deputy James O'Connor asked the Minister for Transport his Department’s plans to construct new train stations in the Cork metropolitan region; if a timeline for the proposed new stations outlined in CMATS is available; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [20820/23]
View answerAs the Deputy is aware, under the Cork Metropolitan Area Transport Strategy (CMATS), the National Transport Authority (NTA) has proposed a number of new rail stations in the Cork metropolitan region.
Noting the NTA's responsibility in developing and implementing CMATS, I have referred the Deputy's question to the NTA for a more detailed reply in relation to the proposed stations and expected timelines. Please contact my private office if you do not receive a reply within 10 days.
