My first question at July 17th MD meeting; ‘Can the council provide an update on any previous requests to improve transport links between Caragh and Naas and Caragh and Naas/Sallins Railway Station to including any previous requests for; the introduction of cycle lanes; the introduction of a Local Link bus service?

Report issued by Ms E Wright, Senior Executive Officer, Roads, Transportation and Public Safety Department: ‘Previous requests for improvement of transport links include a request to Iarnród Éireann to consider the advancement of building a new rail station on a site between Naas and Caragh to facilitate existing and future population growth and reduce the need for local commuters to use motor transport on the M7/N7 to Dublin. The Roads, Transportation and Public Safety Department also received a previous request for the provision of a cycleway between Naas and Caragh. A report from LocalLink on any future plans or outline proposals is awaited and any information provided will be issued to the members.
