Trevor Sargent

Ceist:

1013 Mr. Sargent asked the Minister for Transport if in view of the continuing and dramatic rise in commuter traffic along the N81, particularly that part linking Tallaght to Blessington in County Wicklow, if his Department have plans to develop the very poor public transport system along this route; and if there are plans to extend the Luas line from Tallaght to Blessington.

The extension of existing bus services or the introduction of new services is a matter for the bus operators to propose to my Department. Dublin Bus operates the 65B and 50 routes on the main housing and commercial section of the N81, operating at approximately ten minute peak hour frequency. Bus Éireann also operates services to Tullow, Rosslare Harbour and Carnew via Blessington and Tallaght on the N81. There are no plans to extend the Luas red line to Blessington.
