Question 69: To ask the Minister for Transport and the Marine the steps he proposes to take to conduct feasibility studies into Luas style light rail transit systems in Cork, Galway, Limerick and Waterford. [17906/07]

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.
