- Capacity enhancements at Connolly Station (modifications of platforms, junctions and station) to facilitate increased train numbers
- Subject to assessment, potential relocation of Docklands Station to Spencer Dock adjacent the Luas Stop, to increase capacity and better serve the Docklands area
- Closure of existing level crossings and provision of replacements where required
- Construction of a new DART Depot facility west of Maynooth Station for the maintenance and parking (stabling) of trains
- Development of a DART Metrolink interchange station at Glasnevin
- All civil, bridge and ancillary works as necessary to accommodate the project
