DART+ Depot Public Consultation Process

Public consultation on the Preferred Option for DART+ Depot project is now live. 

Public participation during the design process is a key element to the delivery of major infrastructure projects such as DART+ Depot. This project is now seeking feedback on the ‘Preferred Option’.  

This consultation is our way of asking you, as potential users of the improved services or those likely to be affected by its development, for your views on our plans, while the design process is active. Your local knowledge and comments will inform the preferred design to help us improve the project and ensure it will be a success for you and the communities it will serve.  

Public participation is welcomed and encouraged throughout the design development process, however, there will be two main project consultation stages which will provide you with the opportunity to learn about the design development and provide feedback which will inform the next stage as appropriate. The two main public participation/feedback stages as part of the project development are illustrated in graphical form below and include: 

• Non-Statutory Public Consultation on the Preferred Option (Q1 2026 – Current Stage)  
• Statutory Consultation as part of the Railway Order application process (Q4 2026) 

Public feedback will be accepted during all stages of the design development and can be submitted through the project website, e-mail address, phoneline or by written correspondence.  

Iarnród Éireann invites the public to engage in the design process and all feedback is welcome.
