Transport | The extent to which the electrification of the Maynooth and Leixlip rail line purports to be extended to Kilcock and beyond with reference to expanding car parking space in the Kilcock, Enfield area

REPLY


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 in the Greater Dublin Area, including the DART+ Programme and its constituent projects.

Through the NTA, Iarnród Éireann receive Exchequer funding in relation to the provision of car parking at train stations on the heavy rail network in the GDA, including Counties Kildare and Meath.

Noting the NTA’s responsibility in the matters raised, including progress on DART+ West and DART+ South West, I have referred the Deputy’s questions to the NTA for a more detailed reply.  Please contact my private office if you do not receive a reply within 10 days.
