 That this Area Committee calls on Irish Rail:

  • To reverse it's decision to indefinitely delay the opening the new Kishoge Rail Station, noting that this new station, which cost the taxpayer many millions of Euros, is located only a short walking distance from many residential estates in Lucan South;
  • To reopen the Phoenix Park rail tunnel so as to allow commuter trains from the Kildare line serving Hazelhatch, Adamstown, Lucan and Clondalkin to travel directly to the docklands and/or to the city centre, noting that the proposed new Interconnector rail tunnel is not due to open until 2018 at the earliest;
  • To introduce commuter trains commencing in either Hazelhatch or Adamstown given that nearly all current morning peak-hour commuter trains are full before they reach our county;
  • To coordinate with Dublin Bus on the introduction of orbital bus services, as proposed in the Deloitte review, to connect built-up residential areas of Lucan, Palmerstown, Clondalkin & Newcastle to rail stations on the Kildare line;
  • To attend a special meeting with members of this Committee to discuss these and related matters.
