To suggest that they can't build the houses due to a lack of trains is daft - the trains are there - they just need funding to operate them.

The proper approach would be to levy the builders for money to improve the rail service. Take 10 grand from 10,000 houses and you've got a hundred million to play with. Do this for 5 years, and you've got the Maynooth line electrified and a few new stations added in. The 10 grand contribution will be returned several times in terms of improved property value.
