Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 25 October 2022
233. Deputy Emer Higgins asked the Minister for Transport if he will consider an alternative option for sending the W62 route from Tallaght to Newcastle on to Adamstown train station via the Peamount road and Newcastle road, in order to link the community of Newcastle to the trail line which is the objective of the original W6, in the context of the full W6 route not being operational until major works are done at Hazelhatch bridge.

Amharc ar fhreagraAs 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 and services in the Greater Dublin Area, including BusConnects Dublin.
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.
