Support for the amendment requiring the DART+ South West rail service to be fully operational

I strongly endorse the amendment requiring the DART+ South West rail service—or an equivalent transit option—to be fully operational prior to major housing development. This change greatly strengthens the proposal by guaranteeing that crucial public transport is ready before new residents arrive. Communities in Lucan and Adamstown have long endured rapid population growth without matching infrastructure. Insisting that the rail service be fully functioning, rather than just started, ensures reliable sustainable transport for the area. Overall, this amendment aligns with the core principles of proper planning, sustainable transit, and climate action, and it should be kept as is.
