Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 25 November 2014
585. Deputy Timmy Dooley asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport his views on investigating further methods to increase the average speed of the Luas by improving signalling priority to ensure that less time is spent at road traffic lights; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [45317/14]
View answerThe issue raised is a matter for the relevant local authority, which has responsibility for the setting and phasing of traffic signal priorities. I understand that, in the case of Luas junctions, there is a considerable amount of liaison between the Railway Procurement Agency (RPA), Transdev and the local authorities in relation to traffic priorities.
