DART work is put on hold

The Taoiseach has confirmed that work on the upgrading of the DART line between Dublin and Greystones will be put on hold during the month of December.

Bertie Ahern told the Dáil that Transport Minister Seamus Brennan discussed the matter with the chairman of CIE, arising out of public anger, after it was announced that works on the line would get underway this weekend.
