Dispute delays Luas lines connection

A STANDOFF between two of Dublin’s largest transport agencies over a small stretch of track is stalling plans to connect the city’s Luas lines.

The Irish Examiner has learned the bulk of the proposed route has been largely determined, travelling from St Stephen’s Green to a new bridge at Hawkins Street.

However, disagreement continues on which 200 metres will be used on the north side of the river in the O’Connell Street/Marlborough Street area.
