Martin Cullen (Waterford, Fianna Fail)

As the Deputy knows, the Luas extensions are largely being funded by developers in the areas in question. Significant resources are coming from the private sector and there is the possibility of public private partnerships. There are many ways of undertaking these developments. The feasibility study in respect of the proposed Luas line to Terenure and Rathfarnham through Harold's Cross is one of only three feasibility studies included in Transport 21, the others being those relating to the orbital route and the eastern bypass. I will make no decisions on this route until that study is submitted to the Department.
