Question 91: To ask the Minister for Transport his views on the development of light rail systems for Cork, Limerick and Galway; if he will publish the feasibility studies for each of the projects; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [46349/08]

In the 2007 Programme for Government, we made a commitment to carry out feasibility studies into Luas-style Light Rail Transport (LRT) systems in Cork, Galway, Limerick and Waterford within two years. I have since asked the local authorities undertaking the studies to include consideration of Bus Rapid Transit (BRT).

I expect these studies to be completed within the original timeframe and to be published.
