The timing of the tendering process for metro north and other Luas and metro projects is a matter for the Railway Procurement Agency and therefore I have no function in this regard. The Railway Procurement Agency is at present preparing a detailed implementation plan for the metro north line. Transport 21 provides for the completion of the project in 2012. I understand that public consultation will commence early in 2006.
