In line with a commitment in the Programme for Government, my Department is funding a study into the feasibility of light rail in Waterford, as well as similar studies in other regional cities. I have asked that these studies also consider the feasibility of bus rapid transit. I understand from Waterford City Council that significant progress has been made in the examination of the feasibility of light rail and bus rapid transit. I am advised that the final report from the study in Waterford is now due for completion in September. Following its completion, the study will be published by the City Council.
