Vol. 574 No. 1

Written Answers. - Dublin Port Tunnel.

Finian McGrath

Ceist:

411 Mr. F. McGrath asked the Minister for Transport the position regarding the Atkins Report; and if supertrucks will be accommodated in the Dublin Port Tunnel. [26048/03]

My Department engaged W.S. Atkins to review the feasibility, safety implications and cost of raising the height of the Dublin Port Tunnel, including the evaluation of various options to achieve an increase in operational height. Following consideration of a draft report, which was received on 20 October 2003, W.S. Atkins is now preparing its final report. This will be completed over the next few weeks and will provide a basis for deciding whether an increase in the operational height of the tunnel is feasible and appropriate.
