Quotes

"It has brought into focus a rich variety of names, many of which will give the CityCity Council suggestions for the naming of infrastructure into the future" he added
The department said it was "inevitable" that the construction works would lead to disruption in the city but that "everything possible is being done to ensure that such disruption is kept to a minimum and the city remains open for business"
At the launch of the announcement, Minister Varadkar hailed it a "milestone", explaining: "Luas Cross City will fill a major gap in our infrastructure and will help to make Dublin a properly connected city. Its benefits will be felt far and wide. There’s no doubt that Dublin is suited to light rail and I’m confident that we will all be very proud of this new service in 2017"
"Luas Cross City will join the Luas lines but also link the north and south side of Dublin city centre in an important way which will improve life for commuters, shoppers, and tourists. It's estimated that the line will help create an additional 8 to 10 million trips on the Luas network annually. When we link up our transport network more effectively, we give passengers greater options on where they can get to in the city and create more value for the public transport network as a whole."
