Mr. Stanley Morgan, Secretary, MARINO DISTRICT RESIDENTS ASSOCIATION, c/o 12 St. Catherine Road, Marino, Dublin 3.
Dear Stanley,
I am happy to let you have an up-date on the proposed new D.A.R.T. station at the twin arch bridge in Clontarf.

On Tuesday the 19th December last I attended a further on site meeting for the proposed station with Iarnrod Eireann and Dublin Corporation. This was part of an overall series of meetings which I have had with various authorities for the development of the proposed new D.A.R.T. station.

I am sure you are anxious that this proposed development which has been discussed over a prolonged period, finally moves forward. I can confirm that I have now brought the various authorities together and a foundation is at present in place for the development to go ahead, without delay. I estimate that the work will commence in early 1996 and the new station will be opened by mid 1996.

At the meeting on the 19th instant a number of issued were raised, such as:- Design and finish of the station. Adequate Park 'N Ride facilities, the importance of car parking for commuters. Pedestrian Crossing facilities, Cyclist facilities, including Cyclist store area. The naming of the new station, Clontarf D.A.R.T. - Clontarf/Fairview. and many other issues.

However, if you have issues or concerns please feel free to write to me or contact Michael Murphy, Suburban Rail Manager, directly at Iarnrod Eireann, D.A.R.T., Pearse Street, Dublin 2.
Yours sincerely, IVOR CALLELY T.D.
