General Transport Infrastructure Ireland (TII) was set up to deliver and operate safe and efficient light rail and national road networks. TII’s mission is to deliver transport infrastructure and services that contribute to the quality of life of the people of Ireland and support the country’s economic growth. TII’s ability to deliver and operate light rail and roads networks efficiently is recognised, as evidenced by the portfolio of National Development Plan (NDP) 2021–2030 investments entrusted to TII and its partners to deliver. Under the NDP there are three areas under the remit of TII which identify key priorities: 1) Investment in public transport infrastructure to be delivered on behalf of the National Transport Authority (NTA) in line with the Transport Strategy for the Greater Dublin Area 2022-2042. This Strategy commits to the undertaking of appraisal, planning and design of Luas network expansion to Bray, Finglas, Lucan and Poolbeg. Importantly, the Plan also sets out a firm commitment to deliver a metro rail system known as MetroLink that will run from Swords to Charlemont, connecting Dublin Airport with the city centre and providing interchanges with other public transport services including Iarnród Eireann at Glasnevin, the DART at Tara Street and Luas at O’Connell Street and Charlemont. TII also delivers light railway infrastructure being planned in other cities.

TII also has a new function for the delivery of zero and low emission vehicle infrastructure (ZEVI) under the Road Traffic and Roads Act 2023. 3) Investment in maintenance and renewal expenditure will need to increase over the lifetime of the NDP to meet the required investment levels for the current transport network and for new projects as they come into service. TII’s ambitious plans for infrastructural delivery will drive Ireland’s long term economic, environmental, and social progress across all parts of the country over the next decade. The NDP, which is aligned with the delivery of the objectives of the National Planning Framework (NPF), sets out a roadmap and the level of investment which will underpin the NPF and drive its implementation over the next ten years.
