The Programme for Government provides for feasibility studies to be completed within two years into Luas-style light rail transit systems in Cork, Galway, Limerick and Waterford. My preference is that these feasibility studies be carried out as part of a review of the existing land use and transportation strategies for these cities. A review of the Cork Area Strategic Plan is already under way and I will be asking the Cork authorities to include in that review, consideration of the feasibility of introducing light rail transit and/or bus rapid transit.
