Cllr: It Would Be A "Travesty" If The DART Is Not Extended To Kilcock.

Dart+ West proposes an extension along the Maynooth line.

A local councillor says it would be a "travesty" if the Dart is not extended to Kilcock.

Dart+ West proposes to extend the train service to  all existing stations along the railway corridor between Maynooth Station and M3 Parkway Station, to Connolly Station.

While DART+ South West is seeking to optimise the existing railway between Hazelhatch & Celbridge Station to Heuston Station

The project timelines for both have been pushed back, and work may not begin until 2027.

Public consultations remain open.

Fianna Fáil Clane Maynooth Cllr., Paul Ward, has been speaking to Kildare Today.

He is preparing his second submission to that consultation, and says it would make no sense not to extend the project to Kilcock.


Cllr. Ward joined Eoin Beatty on Wednesday's edition of the programme, where they also discussed his motions before the October meeting of the Municipal District.
