I attended the meeting of Dublin City Council on Monday that was addressed by the Minister for Transport. He had already criticised the ESRI in his reaction to its report, saying it had not done its homework on Luas. He said that the project that is near completion is significantly different from that in the original plan. At the council meeting he stated that the infrastructure of Luas today is within budget and will be achieved within a three year timeframe. All the fudge and exaggeration of the issue is amazing. There are those who speak in the Oireachtas on these matters without doing their homework first and they say what they like.
