This is an application for a Railway Order under section 37 of the Transport (Railway Infrastructure) Act, 2001 as amended by section 49 of the Planning and Development (Strategic Infrastructure) Act, 2006. It involves reopening a railway line between Clonsilla and Pace that previously operated for a period of approximately 100 years between 1862 and 1963 as part of the Dublin- Navan railway but has been closed for the past 45 years. Since its closure in 1963, the tracks have been lifted and the land disposed of. The line would connect to the existing main line from Connolly Station to Sligo at Clonsilla. 1.1.2. The applicants are Coras Iompair Eireann/Iarnrod Eireann (CIE/IE) and they held pre-application consultations with the Board. 1.2. Site and Surroundings. 1.2.1. The former alignment of the proposed railway is largely intact and there is no development over it. The overall amount of land involved is stated as 23.5ha (see EIS 12.6.3 p153) and the alignment passes through the administrative area of two planning authorities, Fingal County Council and Meath County Council. The following is a brief description of the route travelling from south to north. 1.2.2. Clonsilla Station to Hilltown. The proposed railway links in with the existing Maynooth line to the west of Clonsilla Station and adjoining the Royal Canal. The stone abutments of the former bridge over the canal are still intact. The north bank of the canal is a pedestrian way but consists of a grassed area without footpath or public lighting. There is a towpath at the bridge abutments and the remains of a stone accommodation under-bridge to its north. 1.2.3. From the Royal Canal to Hilltown Stud the alignment is intact with earthen embankments and hedgerows either side. The central portion has been cleared. The Barnhill over-bridge has damaged parapets on both sides and a pipe on its eastern side. Parts of the flank walls are loose. There are no dwellings immediately adjoining the line and there is farmland on both sides adjoining the route. 1.2.4. Hilltown to Sterling. The line is blocked at Hilltown Stud by an earthen bank and hedgerow. Through the stud the hedgerow along the western side of the alignment is still intact but the line and its eastern boundary have been incorporated into fields separated by post and rail fencing. To the east of the line is Hilltown House with a walled garden. At the northern end of the stud farm the line is blocked by a concrete walled dungstead. The route of the recently constructed pipeline through the farm from the R149 is visible with cleared hedges and trees at the road frontage. NA 0001. An Bord Pleanála Page 5 of 5 1.2.5. From Hilltown Stud to Sterling over-bridge the line and hedgerows are intact. At the southern side of the bridge there are paddocks to the west and Sunny Bank house to the east, both set back from the line. The parapets of the stone- arched bridge are intact but there is evidence of cracking and repairs to the crown of the arch. To the north of the bridge the line leading to a stone-arched accommodation bridge is impassable due to flooding. The parapets of this bridge are badly damaged. 1.2.6. Sterling to Dunboyne. The line is intact between Sterling and Dunboyne over-bridges with mostly farmland either side. To the southeast of Beechdale housing estate there is an ESB pylon blocking the line but there is a farm track around it that continues to Dunboyne Bridge. The estates of Beechdale and Larchfield are immediately adjoining the line to the west and between these estates the line crosses the Dunboyne or Castle Stream where there is a stone-arched under-bridge. To the southeast of Dunboyne Bridge there is a residence and health clinic. Here there is also an intact water tower. The bridge appears to be in good condition and its parapets are intact. 1.2.7. Dunboyne to Pace. Immediately to the north of Dunboyne Bridge the line is blocked as it has been incorporated into the garden of a dwelling that was formerly the station building. This garden is surrounded by tall evergreen trees and there are remnants of the former station platforms in this garden. The line then becomes intact again with the Millfarm housing estate immediately to the west and farmland to the east. 1.2.8. North of Millfarm the line passes through rough pasture and then tillage before becoming identifiable again as it crosses the Tolka River in two places. To the north of the river there has been some encroachment onto the former alignment by the rear gardens of houses fronting the R157. The line then passes through Bennetstown over-bridge where the parapets on both sides have been badly damaged. North of the bridge the line is blocked where the garden of a house has been extended to the bank of the Tolka. North of the Tolka there is a short intact section of the former line with a farmhouse and outbuildings to the west. Thereafter there are construction works at the proposed M3 interchange including diversion of the river. 1.2.9. I attach photographs taken during my site inspection. 1.3. History. 1.3.1. Originally a railway line from Clonsilla to Navan was opened in 1862 as a single line. Following the take-over by the Midland Great Western Railway in 1888, doubling of the line took place between Clonsilla and Drumree. Passenger services were suspended temporarily during the Second World War and were finally suspended in 1947. Goods traffic continued to use the line until it closed completely in 1963. The track was then lifted and most of the land disposed of. NA 0001. An Bord Pleanála Page 6 of 6 1.4. Proposed Development.

  • BAPTS Report Dublin
    BAPTS High-quality public transport services for Europe Report on the BAPTS Launch Event Bielefeld DUBLIN 5TH Bapts PartNERSHIP MEETING/WORKSHOP/SITE VISIT www.bapts.eu 27 – 29 January 2010 5BAPTSth Partnership Meeting/Workshop/Site Visit in Dublin The BAPTS partnership meeting No 5 was hosted by the National Transport Authority (NTA) and the Dublin City Council (DCC). Thematically, the visit to the Irish capital was centred on the two topics of “Urban Bus Systems” and “Mobility Management”. During three thematic workshops, partners could jointly deepen their understanding of common challenges and solutions. The thematic site visit was aimed at better understanding the urban regeneration potential of large scale infrastruc- ture investments. Background information: Dublin is the capital of the Republic of Ireland and has one of the fasted growing po- pulations of any European capital city. Despite the recent economic crisis, the city still develops very dynamically. Dublin‘s transit system currently utilises electrified suburban trains, diesel commuter rail, trams and an extensive bus network to provide service to the population of the Greater Dublin Area. The system is overseen by the NTA which has emerged in December 2009 from the Dublin Transportation Office (DTO). The entire Irish transport system is currently being reviewed and adjusted to future re- quirements within the framework of the national transport development plan “Trans- port 21”. The plan, which has been announced in 2005, includes far reaching extensions and large scale investments in particular in the Dublin transport network. Among other schemes, the plan foresees fundamental changes for the existing Dublin commuter net- work, the development of a metro system and large investments and extensions of the tram network already existing.

  • Travel Pass Scheme (Taxsaver Commuter Scheme)
    Circular Letter 0009 /2011 To the Chief Executive Officer of each Vocational Education Committee Travel Pass Scheme (Taxsaver Commuter Scheme) 1 Introduction The Minister for Education and Skills wishes to draw the attention of Vocational Education Committees to the Travel Pass Scheme (Taxsaver Commuter Scheme). Legislation was introduced in the Finance Act 1999 which allows an employer to incur the expense of providing an employee with an annual bus/rail pass, without the employee being liable for benefit-in-kind taxation. The Revenue Commissioners have agreed that the benefit- in-kind tax exemption will apply in the context of salary sacrifice, that is, where an employee agreed to forego or sacrifice part of his/her salary in lieu of the provision of the travel pass by the employer. The employee will not pay tax, PRSI, income levy or pension related deduction on the remuneration sacrificed. 2 Availability to employees The scheme should be made available to all VEC employees who are employed in a permanent, contract of indefinite duration, fixed term, or regular part time capacity at the date of application. The employment must be capable of lasting until the salary sacrifice has been recouped. It is not possible for casual or non casual employees to avail of the scheme. 3 Revenue requirements of the scheme Salary sacrifice by an employee in lieu of the provision of a travel pass by an employer will be acceptable to the Office of Revenue Commissioners as being effective for tax purposes under the following conditions: y There must be a bona fide and enforceable alteration to the terms and conditions of employment, i.e.
