Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 22 September 2022
81. Deputy Mark Ward asked the Minister for Transport the date on which Kishogue train station will open to the public; the cost of same; the reason for the delay; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [45995/22]
Amharc ar fhreagraAs the Deputy is aware, the National Transport Authority (NTA) has statutory responsibility for the planning and development of public transport infrastructure in the Greater Dublin Area including, in consultation with Iarnród Éireann (IÉ), Kishogue station.
I am informed by the NTA that extensive work will need to be carried out by Iarnród Éireann on Kishogue Station before it can be brought into use, including meeting present day accessibility and systems requirements which are above and beyond the original design.
The additional investment to open the station will total circa €3.8 million and it is anticipated that the station will become operational for the public in 2023.
