Niamh Smyth (FF), Cavan-Monaghan

The National Transport Authority, NTA, recently launched its plan and strategy for public transport. As a Border Deputy, I am heartened to see the rail line to Navan has been included. My focus is on the Border area and I will continue to be relentless in calling for a feasibility study on continuing the disused line from Navan to Kingscourt. I am delighted that the Government has committed to doing exactly that in the national development plan, NDP.
The reason I ask is the obvious potential to improve connectivity and unlock a wealth of economic prosperity for the Border region in a meaningful and real way for public transport. I ask the Taoiseach to ensure money is allocated for the feasibility study.
