Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 10 November 2020
271. Deputy Catherine Murphy asked the Minister for Transport his plans to provide for a continuation of MetroLink to south-west County Dublin; and if the metro to Knocklyon feasibility study will be amended to include areas beyond that locality in order to future proof the line. [34881/20]
Amharc ar fhreagra272. Deputy Catherine Murphy asked the Minister for Transport if a public consultation will be opened in respect of the metro to Knocklyon feasibility study. [34882/20]
Amharc ar fhreagraI propose to take Questions Nos. 271 and 272 together.
As Minister for Transport, 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, including light rail.
Noting the NTA's responsibility in the matter, I have referred the Deputy's question to the NTA for a direct reply. Please contact my private office if you do not receive a reply within 10 days.
