Dessie Ellis (Dublin North West, Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source

I welcome the Minister to his new job and I look forward to dealing with him.

In the past week, media sources have said the NTA and some people in the Minister’s Department are considering a plan to extend the Luas line on the north side of Dublin to Ballymun, Finglas and other places. Are there plans to do so? The Minister’s predecessor, Deputy Varadkar, indicated that there were no plans in this regard. Could the Minister elaborate on the media reports that are appearing?
