Cormac Devlin (FF), Dún Laoghaire

If I could finish my point on the DART underground, I was about to commend the fact that 41 new DART carriages are on the way, which is welcome.
A transport strategy for the greater Dublin area is under way. This would deal with the initial planning and design stages for the rail projects, such as the DART underground.
The DART underground has been on the cards since 1972 despite a reported €45 million being invested in planning and design. The DART underground is the missing link between Heuston and Pearse stations. It is seen as the Holy Grail of the integration of the DART network. As such, the DART underground is important for the city.
