A proposed extension of the DART network to Kildare has been approved by An Bord Pleanála.
The development will run from Connolly/Spencer Dock to Maynooth in Co Kildare and to the M3 Parkway near Dunboyne, Co Meath.
It's part of the DART+ programme which, when implemented, will increase the length of the network to 150km of railway corridor.
Key elements of the DART+ Maynooth line include the electrification and re-signalling of the Maynooth and M3 Parkway line from City Centre to Maynooth, modifications to Connolly Station including new platforms, and a new station at Spencer Dock.
Approval for the new line has been granted with a number of conditions.
Iarnród Éireann "warmly welcomes" An Bord Pleanála's decision, according to RTÉ.
It's believed the new line will be ready to operate by 2029.
