I am delighted that my Motion to kick-start the process to extend the Luas line from Kingswood to Ballycullen has been passed by the LAC of South Dublin County Council. 

This is just the first step to having the plan included in a future Programme for Government. 

The proposal was initially suggested in 2004, and obviously given the incredible amount of development and lack of any adequate public transport in the area, it is more vital than ever that this plan becomes a reality.  

This is the most effective and innovative solution in terms of making a real difference to combat climate change and to deal with the chronic traffic congestion in our community.

I will keep you updated on developments.

Remember – I deserve your No. 1 because I get the job done!
