Mr. Graham Doyle:

It is a very well-made point. There is no doubt that we must future proof these projects. Work is happening on the Luas cross-city project to extend platforms to provide for longer trams to increase capacity. That capacity is needed in those tramlines. This is very important. The original design of the tunnel for the DART underground was of a particular time and it was where the project was being engineered at that time. Without falling into any of the traps the Deputy has rightly pointed out, we must redesign it in a way that allows us to find an optimal project that delivers the benefit to public transport we think it can deliver without over-engineering it at the same time.
