Adjournment Matters. - Light Rail Project.
Significant progress has been made on the construction of both Luas lines. First, the depot at the Red Cow is complete and has been fitted out. Second, the 26 trams for the Tallaght line have been delivered and are being tested and commissioned at present. Third, construction of the depot at Sandyford is also complete and fitting out is taking place. Fourth, the first four 40 metre trams for the Sandyford line have been delivered and the ten remaining trams will be delivered during the coming months. Almost all the utilities and enabling works have been completed and the RPA's property acquisition programme is at an advanced stage. Over 50% of track work has been completed to date and the test tracks at the Red Cow and Sandyford are in place. Structures such as bridges are in the course of construction on the Sandyford line, in particular, and evidence of progress is to be seen right along the line.
