MEETING OF COUNTY COUNCIL

Monday, May 14, 2007

QUESTION No. 8

QUESTION: Councillor R. Dowds

To ask the Manager for a report on the intended Luas spur to West Tallaght and Saggart including the following information:

1. The projected cost.

2. The length of the line.

3. Projected commencement and completion.

REPLY:

The extension of the LUAS Spur to West Tallaght is a project being developed by the RPA and private interests.   The Council are only involved as the intended route traverses Council land and in part runs alongside the proposed Embankment Road/Saggart route. This will entail transfer of these lands to the R.P.A.  There is also a large watermain located near/alongside the route.  

The detailed information sought by the Councillor on cost, commencement and completion date is not available to the Council. The length of line and layout are understood to be the same as the original proposal.    

The date for the Public Enquiry by the Railway Inspector has not yet been set.
