Mr. Hugh Creegan:

I might respond on the last couple of points. On the feasibility study for metro south west, we need to see whether this a judicial review against MetroLink and where it ends up. It is possibly towards the end of next year or the following year when we will start that. It is a project that really has to link on to MetroLink in any event.

I said in my opening statement that there are 12 Luas schemes overall planned for Dublin in future years. After the three that were mentioned move on, there is another batch that will come forward.

I accept the Deputy's comments on route 80. There are issues there and I understand the concerns. I do not have a quick solution.
