As Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport I have responsibility for policy and overall funding in relation to public transport.  Following the establishment of the National Transport Authority (NTA) in December 2009, the implementation and development of infrastructure projects in the Greater Dublin Area (GDA), including the extension of the Luas network, comes under the remit of the NTA.  

Noting this I have referred the Deputy's question to the NTA.  Please advise my private office if you don't receive a reply within 10 working days.
