QUESTION: Councillor N. Fennell

To ask the manager to provide the most update to date details on Lucan Luas and when we can expect works to begin in regarding to introducing the Luas to the LEA.

REPLY:

The following measure of the National Transport Authority Greater Dublin Area Transport Strategy 2022-2042 that

“Measure LRT4 – Luas Lucan

It is intended to develop a light rail line from Lucan to the City Centre, supplementing and complementing the planned bus system, to serve the overall public transport needs in this area.”

Furthermore, the strategy states “Based on work carried out previously, and further subsequent analyses, the NTA is satisfied that sufficient demand for a light rail line from the city centre towards Lucan exists and that a project should be pursued to meet this demand. The alignment and the locations to be served between Lucan and the City Centre have yet to be determined and will be subject to further assessment and analyses.”

TII is the agency responsibility for the delivery of Light rail schemes including “Luas Lucan”

The “Luas Lucan” is an active project with TII and is included on their Public Transport Active List. It’s current status is “Scope and Purpose” stage. Envisaged service commencement is 2036.
