Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport

Accessibility of Public Transport for People with Disabilities: Discussion (Resumed)

1:30 pm

Mr. Seamus Egan:

There are two aspects to that. Seven additional trams have initially been purchased. These trams will be 10 m longer than the existing fleet. They will be coming into service over the next few months and all should be in service by mid-May. Separate from that, there is a plan to extend the current rolling stock on the green line by 10 m. That has been put through. I am not sure about the exact dates but it will probably start next year. I can come back to the Deputy with the exact dates for that.
