The implementation of this project, for which my Department has approved funding, is a matter for Iarnród Éireann. I am informed by the company that enabling works have already commenced on the line but that there has been a delay in awarding the main construction contract as the contract had to be readvertised for commercial reasons. However, I understand from the company that construction works are still expected to be completed and services underway by mid 2009.
