Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport

Greater Dublin Area Transport Strategy 2022-2042: National Transport Authority

Mr. Hugh Creegan:

We believe that the right solution is to get on with building the BusConnects corridors in that area. It has a number of BusConnects corridors. In looking forward 20 years, we believe that the right measure will be to upgrade two of those corridors to Luas lines instead of pursuing a metro solution, which would be very expensive. However, we are committed to revisiting this decision. If it needs to be changed in future, it can be. Right now, though, the strategy boils down to the need to get on with building the BusConnects corridors and delivering something. There is the potential for light rail in the longer term. If we need to reconsider the metro, we can do so. That is what our position boils down to.
