Consistent with the Dublin Transportation Office document, entitled Platform for Change, Irish Rail recently completed a study on the feasibility of providing an interconnector tunnel from Heuston Station to the docklands. My Department received the completed study and discussed it which Irish Rail.
I am awaiting a business plan from Irish Rail that will include cost benefit analysis, funding proposals and a proposed timescale. The construction of an interconnector is not part of the company's short-term plans.
