Concern over Inchicore DART plan
Hopefully this is not delay the construction, could be the Carrickmines of the DART project in Dublin?

Hardly. Metro North is knocking 4 houses and a school in Drumcondra and theres very little comment. All Irish Rail are doing is taking some garden.

Storm in a teacup folks - I'd be more concerned about our roads-and-developers obsessed government scratching the project becuase the money's gone. Wouldn't be the first time, particularly for FF.
The people of Inchicore can rest easily |

(1) have you looked at the plans? (2) ever been in the inchicore works estate? Usual politicians trying to make political capital on this, but I'm not sure the shinners have really grasped the issue.

He has
The residents of Inchicore have long sought a station, these politicians are trouble. The very best place for a station is in a built up urban area. BTW it will be 11 minutes or so to Stephen's Green about 10-16 times an hour at peak Tunnel portal is dead centre of the IE site

Would that suggest that the Kildare line DART services will be running on the 2 southside tracks of the Kildare route projects 4 tracks?

Yes, but options for it to run on the centre pair are under investigation with some class of underpass at the west of Inchicore

Having the station in Gare du Nord would make it 750-800m away from the built up area of the village of Inchicore

I have met with a local resident about this and there are a few reasonable concerns
There is no perfect location, there are problems with access to the station and disruption when the tunnel is being built We have submitted a number of observations to Irish Rail on how to solve these issues, many of the issues Irish Rail already have thought of dealing with. Politicians are trouble, leave the engineers and managers to do their job. The original DART was free of political interference (well it wasn't CIE just faced them down), the Luas was a mess
