I concur with previous speakers regarding the problems of the lack of signage for the Luas. We have spent €800 million on providing this system in our city. Before we embark on further extensions, it is important that people have confidence in the safety and the reliability of this system. I visited one of the locations yesterday and there is no signage there. We all know how many crashes have occurred on the DART line at Merrion gates. There are no barriers nor signage leading on to the Luas line to Tallaght, yet there are many road junctions. It is not good enough for RPA spokespeople to say today that in the first year there will be fatalities. It seems as if they are resigned to stating that fatalities will occur without being proactive. There must be a major advertising campaign on the dangers at these junctions.
