No funding has been sourced for the Luas extension to Finglas despite millions spent on designs and "incredibly extensive" consultation and enabling works, Dublin City Councillors have heard.
The proposed Finglas Luas line is approximately 4km long, running from from Broombridge to Charlestown Centre with four proposed stops at St. Helena’s, Finglas Village, St. Margaret’s Road and Charlestown. Councillors recently received a presentation detailing the timeline for the Finglas Luas, where they were shown "very high-tech designs".
But Independent councillor for Finglas Noeleen Reilly said those at the meeting were quickly hit with a sucker punch. She told Dublin Live: "But then what they said to us was, there's going to be a five year delay before construction starts."
