Tourist tax for Dublin under consideration as GPO plans discussed
Our community members are treated to special offers, promotions and adverts from us and our partners. You can check out at any time. More info A tourist levy is under consideration for Dublin City but it is "highly unlikely and unrealistic" that it will be introduced in the next year, the Government has confirmed. This is despite Tánaiste Simon Harris saying two months ago that he would be "nervous" about the imposition of such a tax. However, Taoiseach Micheál Martin stated that it may be needed to fund some of the recommendations contained in a 10-year roadmap to "revitalise" Dublin. A Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) will be established by and operate under the auspices of Dublin City Council to drive delivery. This will include the redevelopment of the GPO as an "ambitious and historic flagship project with cultural, retail and office components". The Government also agreed to further consider wider measures which could support the regeneration of Dublin and other cities, such as an Accommodation Tax or Levy, borrowing limits for Local Authorities and a review of the Living City Initiative. Several ministers, including Fine Gael's Patrick O'Donovan, have expressed reservations about such a plan. However, the Taoiseach stated that it could generate between €4 million and €41 million. Mr Martin said a detailed paper was prepared by the Department of Tourism. He said: "It could provide additional revenue raising powers so that will be examined. "Because, let's be honest, there's going to be significant investment here. There's going to be significant additional expenditure to make the city more attractive. "Identifying revenue sources which won't go near meeting the entirety of the expenditure that would be allocated to this project is a good principle. But it will be examined in more detail. Estimates vary, depending on the rate or fee applied, range from €4 million to €41 million." In April, the Tánaiste said he would be "very nervous" about the imposition of a tourist tax in Dublin. Asked if he was still nervous about the plan, Mr Harris said it was an "issue of timing for a sector that has gone through huge volatility". He added: "There can be significant benefits in a tourist tax if done in the correct way. Many, many European capital cities have that. But of course, you want to get the timing right." When asked if it would be introduced in the next year, Mr Harris said that was "highly unlikely and unrealistic". Elsewhere in the plan, there is a commitment to recruit 1,000 extra Gardaí for Dublin City alone, something the Taoiseach said was possible in the 10-year plan. However, there were no details provided on what budget will be put behind the plan and how much it would cost to implement all of the "big moves" recommended by the Dublin City Taskforce.

Major boost for DART+ West project as legal challenges withdrawn
Our community members are treated to special offers, promotions and adverts from us and our partners. You can check out at any time. More info Works for the Dart+ West project are now expected to begin next year after the withdrawal of two judicial reviews. The Railway Order for the project, which will expand the DART network to Maynooth/M3 Parkway, was approved by An Bord Pleanála in July 2024 but has been delayed due to the court action. An Bord Pleanála also approved a Railway Order for the DART+ South West - Hazelhatch to Heuston / Phoenix Park Tunnel - in November 2024. The DART+ will double the passenger capacity for rail services in the Greater Dublin Area, from 26,000 passenger journeys per direction per hour to 52,000. The DART network will increase from 50 kilometres to 150 kilometres, extending to Maynooth/M3 Parkway, Hazelhatch and Drogheda. Enabling works are expected to commence in 2026 for DART+ infrastructure. Contract awards are targeted for the end of 2026. In addition to the infrastructure development, 185 carriages have been ordered for the DART+ Fleet, with up to 750 in total possible under a framework contract with French fleet manufacturer Alstom. The first ten carriages, made up of two five-carriage trains, have been delivered, and have commenced the testing, commissioning and regulatory process, and are expected to begin entering service during 2026.
