Navan rail line

Summary

Deputy Guirke asked whether the Government would deliver a rail line to Navan, noting repeated election promises by all coalition parties. The Tánaiste referred the question to the Minister of State for Transport, who said she would reply in full later.

The programme for Government does not explicitly mention the Navan rail line but it does mention a commitment to rail. Navan is the largest town in Ireland not serviced by rail. Before and during the general election campaign, all parties committed to delivering a rail line to Navan, including the three parties now in government. Will the Government deliver a rail line to Navan, as was promised during the campaign for the general election?

I nominate the Minister of State, Deputy Naughton, to take that question.
