Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 11 July 2017
694. Deputy Catherine Martin asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport his plans to safeguard the route alignments through Finglas at which there is a real danger that dwellings may be constructed on the proposed alignment of a Luas extension (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Amharc ar fhreagraThe National Transport Authority (NTA) has statutory responsibility for the implementation and development of public transport infrastructure in the Greater Dublin Area (GDA). The NTA's Transport Strategy for the Greater Dublin Area 2016-2035 provides a framework for the planning and delivery of transport infrastructure and services in the GDA over the next two decades. The Strategy includes a proposal for the extension of Luas Cross City from its terminus at Broombridge to the north of Finglas.
Noting the NTA's responsibility in the matter, I have referred the Deputy's question to the Authority for direct reply. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a reply within ten working days.
The referred reply under Standing Order 42A was forwarded to the Deputy.
