Responsibility for the development of specific proposals for the expansion of Luas services lies with the Railway Procurement Agency, RPA.
I understand from the RPA that it has received preliminary proposals from the private sector for the extension of the Luas red line from the existing Belgard stop through to Citywest. I also understand that the RPA is in discussions with South Dublin County Council on this matter. However, these discussions are at a very early stage. At present the RPA awaits firm proposals from the parties who have expressed an interest in supporting this extension.
