Brady tracks down final Luas piece in €800m 'pain'

THE last metre of track on the Luas light rail system was laid by the Lord Mayor of Dublin yesterday.

After problems with cost projections, construction works and the Red Cow Roundabout crisis, the €800 million service is due to begin operating this summer.

"There's no gain without pain and the citizens certainly have a lot of pain from Luas. Hopefully in years to come, we'll look back and say it was worth doing," said Lord Mayor Royston Brady.
