The expansion would include the addition of a new station near Millennium Park.

The DART network could be set for a significant expansion into Kildare, with plans in the pipeline to extend services to the Naas and Kilcock areas.

The expansion would include the addition of a new station near Millennium Park.

Residents could benefit from a ten-minute service frequency, drastically enhancing their commuting options.

Kildare North TD and Minister of State at the Department of Transport, James Lawless, said funding has been secured to prepare for the future rollout of DART services to Sallins/Naas on the southwest line, and to Kilcock on the west line.

This would bring the DART services even further than the already agreed extensions to Hazelhatch and Maynooth on the respective lines.
