I propose to take Questions Nos. 77, 106, 109 and 114 together.
I understand from the Railway Procurement Agency, RPA, the State body responsible for the development of Luas, that the infrastructure contractors have indicated a delay of four months on the original contractual completion dates of October 2003 for the Tallaght to Abbey Street line, December 2003 for the Sandyford to St. Stephen's Green line and March 2004 for the Abbey Street to Connolly Station line. It is anticipated that construction will be completed in early 2004 and passenger services will commence after the necessary commissioning and safety checking of the system have been completed.
The RPA is monitoring closely developments in the construction schedule and is in regular contact with the contractors to review developments to ensure the earliest possible completion dates.
