Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 25 January 2006
897 Mr. Stagg asked the Minister for Transport further to Parliamentary Question No. 232 of 15 December 2005 if Iarnród Éireann has been requested to outsource the work whereby the completion date of the resignalling work will be brought forward. [2406/06]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe resignalling project for the city centre, to increase train paths from 12 to 16 per hour through Connolly Station, is a key element of the Transport 21 programme for rail. Iarnród Éireann is currently assembling a design team and it is anticipated that work will commence in the latter part of 2006.
I have not requested Iarnród Éireann to outsource the work. However, I understand from the company that while the work involved will be carried out primarily by in-house staff, the company intends to tender for additional resources as necessary in a support capacity.
