Martin Cullen (Waterford, Fianna Fail)

I would and I can stand over everything I have ever done.

Deputy Shortall's comment with regard to connecting the Luas lines is true up to a point but not entirely so. It depends on how one routes the lines, as well as the stops along the way. The Deputy's point is fair but it does not necessarily mean that one excludes the other; it depends on how one does them. That matter is currently on the table. In terms of operational good sense and capitalising on the success of the Luas, as a point of principle, it would be good for both lines to be interconnected. It would be good for the integration of public transport in Dublin.
