"This summer, I met with NTA, TII, and Minister O'Brien to ensure they knew how important this project is and to ensure funding was ready and in place if permission was granted."
"Last week, I again met An Taoiseach to ensure funding was ready, and I will be keeping the pressure on to ensure there are no delays ahead."
"When we started holding local meetings in 2018 calling on the NTA to extend the line from Broombridge, I think many of us thought it would not be achieved,"
"We can look forward to the Luas extending to Finglas along a green track line that will open up lands for more transport-orientated housing development, which we really need,"
The Luas Green Line will be extended from Broombridge to Charlestown via Finglas, adding four stops at St Helena's, Finglas Village, St Margaret's Road and Charlestown and serving an estimated 56,000 people. The scheme includes a 350-space park-and-ride at St Margaret's Road near the M50/M2 interchange, new walking and cycling connections, and a green-track corridor to support transport-oriented housing development. Cabinet approval was confirmed in October 2024 as part of government investment to expand public transport and reduce emissions. Journey times between Charlestown and the city centre are expected to fall by up to 15 minutes, with Charlestown to Trinity around 30 minutes.
