Slippage On Navan Rail Railway Order Timeline "Very Disappointing", Says Meath TD - 04/11/2025
from The Agenda
Sinn Féin TD for Meath East, Darren O’Rourke, has expressed significant disappointment at confirmation from Iarnród Éireann that the application for the crucial Railway Order for the Navan Rail line has been delayed by a year.Speaking following an exchange with the CEO of Iarnród Éireann at the Oireachtas Transport Committee, Deputy O’Rourke said:"The confirmation from Mary Considine, CEO of Iarnród Éireann, that the Railway Order for the Navan Rail line will now be submitted by the end of 2027, and not in 2026 as previously committed, is a setback for the project and for the people of Meath. It is very disappointing."Just 21 months ago, in January 2024, the Oireachtas Committee was given a clear timeline that the Railway Order would be submitted in the calendar year 2026. This slippage is deeply frustrating and undermines public confidence.Deputy O’Rourke joined us on The Agenda this morning to talk to us some more about this. Hosted on Acast.
