Navan isn't the only repeatitive announcement in this.
Metros and Luases have all been romised before. I remember reading that the Cherrywood link has been re-announced every five years for the last twenty
This railway is a must. I can't get through Blanchardstown in the mornings. 1 hour to travel just over half a mile is a joke.
Build the railway dempsey
Minister,
Prove to the country that you are committed to a National Spatial strategy by providing the freight, passenger infrastructures( UIC Euro gauge rail & road) intercity north to south with BACK-BONE road and rail corridors linking all of Ireland to Europe to Asia and to the rest of the world through our southern ports.
Prove to the country that you can generate and sustain growth in the Island of Ireland by building Twenty first century infrastructures form scratch where they are needed (namely in the regions of Ireland) Ulster, North Leinster, to south Leinster and the southern ports.
Victorian markets are a thing of the past, Victorian transportation systems are from the past.
Dublin / Belfast centralisation is also from the Victorian past so delegate the work to those who will get on with the job and begin decentralisation the north to south rail and road infrastructure corridors for 21st century needs, to 21 century markets.
Apply your own party NSS strategy with 100 percent conviction, Half measures are too late in 2006.
BACK-BONE Midland main line corridor (rail and road)
Letterkenny Derry (Enniskillen Omagh) Cavan Mullingar (Portlaoise /Tullamore) Killkenny Waterford Rosslare/ Cork
The cost for such UIC standard European gauge dual track completely installed is approximately 30,000 €uro per Kilometre. (not including station structures etc.)
I wish you all the height of success in the hope that you find the courage to decide for the country wisely for the future of the island of Ireland.
Sincerely,
Peter GAVIGAN

I've often wondered why proponents of a united Ireland haven't pushed for more cross border road and rail?
The more barriers are broken down, the more barriers are broken down. It is incredible to think that you can't get a train directlt from Derry to Sth of the border
There were links but they were removed..
Pat Doherty is the man to talk to..
Stuck in traffic and still no railway. I guess these promises will be made again in 5 years time before the next election
Martin Cullen is to address a Transport 21 meeting in Navan next Monday the 6th on Feb in the Newgrange Hotel, Navan.
Local TD & Minister, Noel Dempsey is organising the meeting, and has also lined up the CIÉ Chairman and the County Manager to respond to concerns over the the timelines in the T21 proposal, in particular the 2015 delivery date for the Navan railway line.
Has there been any talk of bringing the Navan project forward?
No. 2015 still stands.
Recently Barry Kenny has started saying "2015, or before" but that may be electioneering
There is a powerful and compelling economic case for the Northwest of Ireland rail network to be restored. Railway restoration is underway big time in England and the continent with the help of EU funding . There is the way but I guess there isn't the will. It will happen because we can't make economic progress otherwise.
