Rail Services and Related Transport Matters: Statements.

 

Parkgate Street is a busy intersection through which all the heavy goods vehicles are coming from the south at Heuston Station. We will have a Luas connection there every two and a half minutes. How will cars get in from Galway, Mayo, the Phoenix Park and the west Dublin suburbs if we do not have a proper suburban network developed in time to divert people from Parkgate Street? We all know what the quays are like at the moment. Can one imagine what they will be like if there is a Luas tram at Parkgate Street every two and a half minutes and cars have to stop to let them through? It will be mind-boggling. Instead of assisting the traffic flow in Dublin it will militate against it.
