The tendering process for DART + South West will get underway in the coming weeks.
Speaking in the Dáil today, Minister for Transport Darragh O'Brien confirmed he will bring the memo to Cabinet once final reviews from Transport Infrastructure Ireland are completed.
More than €35 million has already been spent on the project, which aims to increase passenger capacity and train frequency between Hazelhatch and Celbridge Station in Dublin City.
While it isn't due to begin construction until 2030, Minister Darragh O'Brien says the project remains a priority:
Irish Rail’s Director of Capital Investment Paul Hendrick, says once the business case is approved, work will commence.
The DART + West project will double train services servicing Maynooth and the M3 Parkway, Connolly Station and the proposed Spencer Dock Station.
