The €3bn DART Underground project in Dublin ‘will not proceed as currently designed’ but will instead be ‘redesigned to provide a lower cost technical solution’, Minister for Transport, Tourism & Sport Paschal Donohoe announced on September 22.
DART Underground is a proposed tunnel which would link the existing line into Dublin’s Connolly station from the north with Inchicore on the line running west out of Heuston station. There would be stations at Docklands, Pearse, St Stephen’s Green, Christchurch, Heuston and Inchicore.
This would form a major element of a €4bn DART Expansion Programme, which would also include electrification to Drogheda, Hazelhatch and Maynooth; an increase in frequencies on existing DART routes; four-tracking from Park West to Inchicore; level crossing removals; city centre re-signalling and depot expansion.
DART Underground received planning consent in 2011. However, the business case has been updated as part of the finalisation of a long-term transport plan for the Greater Dublin Area, and while the overall DART Expansion Programme was assessed as economically positive with a 1·4:1 benefit to cost ratio, the National Transport Authority said the business case for DART Underground prepared by Iarnród Éireann indicates that its development under the current railway order ‘is not economically justified’, with a 0·8:1 Benefit to Cost Ratio.
NTA believes that it would be possible to redesign the tunnel project to reduce its cost, while a substantial part of the benefits of the DART Expansion Programme could be derived from the non-tunnel elements.
Options for the redesign include a shorter tunnel running only a far west as Heuston rather than Inchicore; a shorter tunnel running only between Heuston and Pearse where trains would turn back; and/or reducing the number of underground stations.
Accepting the NTA’s recommendation to rethink the project, Donohoe said DART Underground remains a ‘key element’ of integrated transport plans, and funding for the redesign would be provided with a view to construction beginning after 2020. Existing compulsory purchase powers will not be activated, and new legal powers would be sought for the redesigned project.
‘As government works to further stabilise the public finances, we must continue to seek the best value for taxpayers’ money in everything we do’, said Donohoe. ‘A project of such magnitude - in the order of €4bn - has to be designed and delivered in a way that best ensures cost-effectiveness for the taxpayer and the state.’
In response to the announcement, Iarnród Éireann said it welcomed ‘support at government and National Transport Authority level that the DART Expansion Programme is crucial for national economic development and addressing traffic congestion in the Greater Dublin Area and beyond’, and the intention to fund redesign of DART Underground.
The Goggomobil Dart was built in Sydney by Buckle Motors. The Chassis was imported from Germany, and the Fibreglass body made here.Production was started in June 1959, approximately 700 were built. At the Federation Picnic at Marong.Love how small this looks next to a Buick.

She's actually drying out her feathers after fishing since they are not waterproof to enable her to dive right under for fish.

1965 Dodge Dart during ARC Car Show at Old Cowtown Museum. The car show was a fundraiser for the ARC of Sedgwick County.
The Arc of Sedgwick County began in 1953 when parents concerned about services and future opportunities for their children formed The Wichita Association for Retarded Children. This was the first organization in this country to promote the general welfare of all persons with mental retardation, to foster the development of programs on their behalf and to increase the public’s awareness and acceptance.
The African Darter (Anhinga rufa ), sometimes called the Snakebird, is a water bird of tropical sub-Saharan Africa.
This species builds a stick nest in a tree and lays 3-6 eggs. It often nests with herons, egrets and cormorants.
It is an 80 cm long cormorant-like fish-eating species with a very long neck which occurs in both saline and fresh water, especially near mangroves. It often swims with only the neck above water.
The male is mainly glossy black with white streaking, but females and immature birds are browner. The African Darter differs in appearance from the American Darter most recognisably by its thin white lateral neck stripe against a rufous background colour. The pointed bill should prevent confusion with cormorants.
The African Darter is a member of the darter family, Anhingidae, and is closely related to American (Anhinga anhinga), Oriental (Anhinga melanogaster), and Australian (Anhinga novaehollandiae) Darters.
There are an isolated tiny population of the African Darter at the Lower Mesopotamian wetlands in Iraq. The bird used to breed there in breeding colonies with Pygmy Cormorant and Sacred Ibis and other Waterfowl.
Unlike many other waterbirds the feathers of the African Darter do not contain any oil and are therefore not waterproof. Because of this, the bird is less positively buoyant and its diving capabilities are enhanced. After diving for fish, the feathers can become waterlogged. In order to be able to fly and maintain heat insulation it needs to dry its feathers. We therefore see the African Darter often sitting along the waterside spreading its wings drying its feathers in the wind and the sun.
Greystones may not be my favourite seaside town (mainly because of the somewhat unattractive beach) but I do like the town and I do try to visit at least four or five times a year and while there I usually have lunch at Bochelli's. Today as the weather here in Dublin was really good I decided to get the DART to Greystones and arrived at the restaurant at about one o'clock. On entering the restaurant the owner recognised me and mentioned that he had not seen me in over a year and it turned out that he was correct. During our discussion he mentioned that things in the town (including business) had actually improved since last year and he suggested that I should visit the new harbour as there had been some improvements since my last visit.
There was a €300 million redevelopment programme for the harbour, to be constructed by the Sispar consortium (Sispar is a joint venture consortium of Sisk and Michael Cotter's Park Developments) in a public-private partnership with Wicklow County Council. The development scheme was and still continues to be a major topical issue in the town and surrounding areas. Objections revolved around the privatisation of public beach front land without broad public agreement, but work started despite the objections.
The development was to include a new harbour, 341 apartments, a 230 berth marina, a new public plaza and facilities for local sporting clubs.
On the granting of planning permission, 6,210 submissions were received by An Bord Pleanála on initial plans, of which more than 6,200 were objections. Many of the objections came from outside County Wicklow, according to a spokesman for Wicklow County Council. Many objected to specifics of the plan while approving the general idea. An oral hearing was held and the board requested the developers to make certain changes which resulted in the plans being scaled down by approximately 10%. Some 3,700 objections were made on these updated plans. On 9 August 2007, the board approved the final plans, while imposing 13 conditions on construction works, including the retention of public access to the Cliff Walk during the development period, strict guidelines in relation to dust suppression, the re-use of demolition materials, and limitations on the hours of operation and noise levels. The board also overruled an earlier inspector's report, instead permitting an old unlicenced landfill to remain beside the new apartments.
In February 2010, it was announced that development would be put on hold indefinitely due to conditions in the Irish property market.
Greystones Harbour Marina opened on 1st April 2013 with 100 berths available initially.
I have been unable to establish the current status of the development … anyone in a position to provide more information?
Double exposure. The 1/125s exposure had a lot of bouncing water, but the 1/2s exposure had the speed. So I took the difference.
Every time I see this I break out in a sweat. I was adjusting my tripod on a sloping rock platform half submerged in the flood. It was wet and slippery and I had to tread very carefully. If I had slipped I would have gone in the river and drowned.
