John Lahart (Dublin South West, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

On page 28 of the programme for Government, the section on transport states, "We will promote higher urban densities in terms of housing design, particularly in public transport corridors, through a new National Planning Framework". Given that large areas of my constituency of Dublin South-West are increasingly high density, people living in them find themselves sandwiched between the red and green Luas lines without a public transport corridor. Does the Taoiseach agree that it is well past time, given that the green and red Luas lines are now connected in the city centre, that a feasibility study was carried out of connecting the two lines on the south side to serve areas such as Rathfarnham, Firhouse, Old Bawn, Templeogue, Scholarstown, Knocklyon and Ballycullen?
