Irish Rail lodges application seeking new DART line to Celbridge by end of decade

Irish Rail has this week officially lodged an application with An Bord Pleanala asking for permission to extend the new DART+ South West line.

The line will provide "fast, high-frequency and electrified" rail service to communities along the route at Islandbridge, Park West and Cherry Orchard, Clondalkin, Adamstown, and Celbridge and Hazelhatch. The public consultation period will begin on March 29 and run until May 16 for a period of seven weeks.

It comes after the DART+ West Railway Order (Maynooth/M3 Parkway to Dublin) was lodged with An Bord Pleanála in July 2022, and the DART+ South West is the second line in the DART+ Programme to reach this stage.
