Where do we find ourselves now? Ten years after it was first announced, Luas is still behind time, well over budget and causing immeasurable disruption to businesses along the lines which nobody ever envisaged and which the businesses involved were never told about. The DART is still massively under-capacity. I am fortunate enough to live on the DART line, near Killester station. It is not unusual – in fact it is almost a daily experience – for people who arrive at the station between 8.15 a.m. and 9 a.m. not to succeed in getting onto the DART because it is full. We have known for many years that there was an under-capacity. Governments have made announcements about the lengthening of trains too many times to count. The intention to lengthen platforms to accommodate eight-car trains was first announced at least eight years ago, not by this Government or its predecessor, I suspect, but by the Government before that. Yet we are now being told that the DART will have to close at weekends for 18 months in one part of the city or another in order to carry out works which are obviously long since overdue.
