14/04/2005 - 07:47:31The Government is reportedly set to approve a €20bn plan drawn up by Transport Minister Martin Cullen to improve Ireland's road and rail network over the next 10 years.
Reports this morning said the plan included a rapid rail link to Dublin Airport, a €1bn underground rail line between Heuston and Connolly stations and the building of a new station on the city's north docks.
The plan will also reportedly include an improvement in rail services in Kildare and a re-opening of commuter services in Meath.
This morning's reports said Mr Cullen was currently finalising the details and would bring the proposals before cabinet next month.
