Clarification - Luas

An article on the Luas light rail system in the February 3 edition of the Irish Examiner said a ramp at Connolly station had been demolished when plans for the Luas were changed midway through to extend the Tallaght/Connolly line as far as the Point Depot.

The Railway Procurement Agency, which is responsible for Luas, said its plans had not been changed midway through. It said its first application to build a tram stop behind the Connolly Station ramp had been rejected.

The only viable option left was for the ramp to be demolished to make way for a new tram stop. Work on this began before it was proposed last month to extend the Luas line to the Point Depot.
