Navan Rail Line

The Navan Rail line which is proposed in the later 2031-2042 phase of the plan should be prioritised. Navan is the third largest town in Ireland with a projected population in excess of 50,000 people by the end of this decade. The project which was included as an objective of the National Planning Framework would ensure much needed connectivity between Navan and towns such as Dunshaughlin to Dublin, removing significant numbers of cars and their environmental emissions from the roads.
