Transport 21 provides for the completion of Luas Line F, the Luas line from Lucan to the city centre, in 2013. Last September, on behalf of RPA I launched the public consultation process on the two route options for the new Luas Line from Lucan to the city centre. The RPA asked the public and all interested stakeholders to submit their views to the RPA by 31st January. It is expected that a preferred alignment will be identified this year, taking account of the results of this stage of public consultation.

Following completion of the route selection and design work, the RPA will submit a Railway Order application to An Bord Pleanála. The construction timescale will be dependent on the outcome of the above processes.
