As Minister for Transport, I have responsibility for policy and overall funding in relation to public transport. The National Transport Authority (NTA) has statutory responsibility for the planning and development of public transport infrastructure in the Greater Dublin Area (GDA), including light rail.

As the Deputy will be aware, the development of a Luas line to serve Lucan is currently one of the medium-term proposals in the NTA's Transport Strategy for the GDA 2022-2042, for development and delivery within the 2031-2036 timeframe.

Noting the NTA's responsibility in the development of public transport infrastructure in the GDA, I have referred the Deputy's question to the NTA for a direct reply. Please contact my private office if you do not receive a reply within 10 days.
