166 Mr. G. Mitchell asked the Minister for Transport when he expects the different stages of the Luas project on both lines will be completed; the month he expects the first passengers to travel on lines A and B; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [31899/03]
The Railway Procurement Agency has informed me that construction will be completed by May 2004 for the Tallaght to Connolly station line or line A-C, and March 2004 for the Sandyford to St. Stephen's Green line or line B. Following a period of testing and commissioning, passenger services will begin at the end of August 2004 for the Tallaght to Connolly line and at the end of June 2004 for the Sandyford to St. Stephen's Green line.
