Extending DART to Greystones

Summary

Asked whether DART would continue from Bray to Greystones to ease congestion, the Minister said he had no plans for the extension.

I would point out to the Minister that the original DART service was to run from Howth to Greystones but for various reasons when his Government were in office the decision was taken to stop in Bray. Does he intend to extend the line a further three miles to Greystones as envisaged in the original plan, because of the severe traffic congestion in Bray as a result of people from that area, which has a 20,000 population, coming into the town? The streets are filled with cars which are left there all day. It certainly seems sensible to continue with that proposal, which was the first one made.

I am being ringed with steel at the moment. Deputy Roche and Deputy Kavanagh have already made representations with regard to that extension. I have no plans to extend it to Greystones as of now.
