In July Irish Rail submitted a railway order to An Bord Pleanala for the Dart Underground project which will run from Spencer Dock serving Pearse st, Stephens Green, Christchurch, Houston and Inchicore. The line will run directly underneath the historic CIE Estate in Inchicore with construction beginning in 2012 and estimated to finish in 2018. I have been working with residents to ensure that proper lines of communication are in place between the residents and Irish rail and that we develop a master plan for the Inchicore area to deal with the increase of people and activity in the area.
A copy of the Draft Railway Order and documents accompanying the application may be inspected, free of charge, during normal office or opening hours from the 7th July 2010 for the duration of 6 weeks until Wednesday 18th August 2010 at:
An Bord Pleanála, 64 Marlborough Street, Dublin 1
Dublin City Council, Civic Offices, Wood Quay, Dublin 8
Heuston Station, Dublin 8
Pearse Station, Dublin 2
CIÉ Inchicore Works, (Inchicore Parade Entrance), Dublin 8.
The closing date for submissions/observations to An Bord Pleanála is 18th August 2010.
