160 Mr. Gormley asked the Minister for Transport the feasibility study being considered for a proposed new Luas rail line to Rathfarnham; the timetable for the completion of the study; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [6642/07]
View answerTransport 21 provides a very large funding commitment for the delivery of an extensive rail based public transport network in the Greater Dublin Area in the period up to 2015. This network is based on the Dublin Transportation Office strategy, A Platform for Change. It also includes funding for feasibility studies including the proposed Luas line from the city centre to Dundrum via Rathfarnham and Terenure. In this connection I announced, on 30 January last, that the RPA is to commence work on the Rathfarnham feasibility study in April. It is understood, from the RPA, that the feasibility study will take a number of months to complete.
