An Bord Pleanála may, at its absolute discretion, hold an oral hearing into an application for a railway order. The Inspector shall submit to An Bord Pleanála a report in writing of his/her findings and any recommendations he/she considers appropriate having regard to the submissions/inquiry. An Bord Pleanála will rule on the final scope of the project.

A spokesperson for DART Underground said “the Railway Order process ensures that all interested parties can make their submissions for consideration by An Bord Pleanála. While there has been extensive public consultation to date, we would encourage all residents, businesses, commuters or other interested individuals or groups to take the time to examine our proposals on display or online.”
