I am unsure as regards which particular Luas extension is referred to by the Deputy's question; however, during the summer I was pleased to be able to launch a public consultation on the proposed Luas Finglas extension.
As the Deputy may be aware, I have responsibility for policy and overall funding in relation to public transport. The National Transport Authority (NTA) has statutory responsibility for the planning and development of public transport infrastructure, including the provision of light rail in the Greater Dublin Area.
Noting the NTA's responsibility in the matter, I have referred the Deputy's question to the NTA for a more detailed reply. Please contact my private office if you do not receive a reply within 10 days.
A referred reply was forwarded to the Deputy under Standing Order 51
