Mr. Crowe asked the Minister for Transport the plans in place to extend LUAS trams; and when this will be achieved. [43779/06]

Mr. Cullen Mr. Cullen

879

  Mr. Cullen: In November 2005, my Department gave funding approval to the Railway Procurement Agency to enhance capacity on the Red line (Tallaght to the [879] city centre). This involves increasing the length of the 30 metre trams to 40 metres, thus increasing capacity by 40%. The first of the extended trams is scheduled to enter service in Quarter 2 of this year and the tram extension project will be completed in 2008.
