52 Ms C. Murphy asked the Minister for Transport the reason trains servicing the new Spencer Dock Station are terminating at Clonsilla in view of the significant demand that exists at stations further along the line at Maynooth, Leixlip Confey and Leixlip Louisa Bridge, the latter having recently had a parking facilities upgrade; the reason the double tracking of the Kildare line to Sallins and Newbridge was not included in Transport 21, in view of the considerable increase in service demand over recent years that is set to continue into the future; if the provision of commuter services to Kildare users will be placed on an equal footing with those provided to Dublin users, in view of the expansion of the Dublin commuter area in recent years; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
