Transport 21 provides a Government commitment to deliver an extensive Luas and metro network for Dublin in the period up to 2015.

Transport 21 includes provision for the carrying out of feasibility work on a number of projects including a proposed Luas line from the city centre to Dundrum via Terenure. Transport 21 involves a very large commitment of financial resources to the development of Dublin's public transport system, including a major extension of the Luas network. However, those resources are finite and it has therefore been necessary to prioritise the investments to be made over the ten-year period.
