As the Deputy may be aware, the National Transport Authority (NTA) has statutory responsibility for the planning and development of public transport infrastructure in the Greater Dublin Area.
A meeting has taken place between Fingal County Council, Iarnród Éireann, the NTA, and the private developer, to facilitate a discussion on the opportunities to improve general accessibility, including improved access to the railway station from the east and improved access over the railway line.
As agreed by these parties, the NTA has engaged with a consultant to prepare a Feasibility and Options Selection Report to examine options for access solutions that provide safe, reliable and robust access to Clongriffin train station, pedestrian access to bus services and improved connectivity between the growing residential areas of Clongriffin on the western side and Baldoyle on the eastern side. This will incorporate the principles of universal access.
Noting the NTA's responsibility in this matter and the specific issue raised by the Deputy, I have referred the Deputy's questions to the NTA for a more detailed reply. Please contact my private office if you do not receive a reply within 10 days.
A referred reply was forwarded to the Deputy under Standing Order 51
