Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 4 November 2021
117. Deputy Aengus Ó Snodaigh asked the Minister for Transport the progress that has been made on the Luas extension to Lucan; the timeframe for the delivery of the Luas; and when communities along the chosen route will be consulted and informed of the plans. [53591/21]
View answerAs Minister for Transport, I have responsibility for policy and overall funding in relation to public transport.
As the Deputy is aware, the National Development Plan 2021 - 2030 confirms that appraisal and planning will continue in relation to Luas Lucan
The National Transport Authority (NTA) has statutory responsibility for the planning and development of public transport infrastructure in the Greater Dublin Area, including the light rail network.
Noting the NTA's responsibility in the matter, I have referred the Deputy's question to the NTA for a direct reply. Please contact my private office if you do not receive a reply within 10 days.
