This land was bought last month, and work has begun. The article was 1600 houses, but planning permission is for ~500.

The properties will be right beside Clongriffin dart station. Whilst a good location, how will the dart cope?

People are just going to have to leave earlier / later. I get the DART before 7am and no one is standing until Connolly, at which point it's later obviously.

I used to get the 7:37 Dart from Clongriffin, ever since the schools/colleges have returned I now get the commuter train at 7:45/7:55 to make the journey more manageable.

It's a railway line, they can stick another train on it.

It's a pretty congested railway line in fairness and it's already a very frequent service. More carriages will help.
