The Railway Procurement Agency, RPA, has been asked to carry out an evaluation of the linking of the Luas red and green lines. I understand that it has carried out a significant amount of technical work looking, in particular, at various route options. The next step will be for the RPA to put the findings of this work out for public consultation. Following this, the RPA will submit a business case, which will outline the estimated cost and timeframe for the project, to my Department for approval.
