786. Deputy Jack Chambers asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport the status of the Pelletstown train station; the timeline for construction; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [30527/19]
Amharc ar fhreagra787. Deputy Jack Chambers asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport the status of the electrification of the Maynooth DART line; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [30528/19]
Amharc ar fhreagraI propose to take Questions Nos. 786 and 787 together.
As the Deputy is aware, as Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport, I have responsibility for policy and overall funding in relation to public transport. The National Transport Authority (NTA) has statutory responsibility for the planning and development of public transport infrastructure in the Greater Dublin Area, including the DART Expansion Programme which includes consideration of the specific projects referred to by the Deputy.
Noting the NTA's responsibilities in the matter raised, I have referred the Deputy's question to the NTA for a more detailed reply. Please contact my private office if you do not receive a reply within 10 days.
