This is the second round of public consultation on the upgrades.

Irish Rail is asking communities along the DART routes for their views on plans for the DART + WEST, once again.

The proposal will see the electrified network extended from Connolly/Spencer Dock area to west of Maynooth and to the M3 Parkway.

This is the second round of public consultation on the upgrades.

Changes from the first round include the removal of a bridge at Coolmine, an increase in the number of trains per hour from 6 to 12, and a proposed new station at Spencer Dock.

Barry Kenny is Irish Rail's Corporate Communications Officer.

He joined Clem Ryan on Thursday's edition of Kildare Today.
