Committee on Budgetary Oversight

Review of the Capital Plan: Transport Infrastructure Ireland

2:00 pm

Mr. Peter Walsh:

The transport strategy for the greater Dublin area is the document that gives us the framework within which to develop any project for which we receive sanction. Within that document, the Luas network is confined to radial routes. No orbital route is suggested in the document. There are other plans for orbital movements within that strategy, but not for the Luas. That document sets out the integrated transport plan for the greater Dublin area. Any questions the Acting Chairman might have about planned connections are well set out in the document.
