Archiseek / Ireland / News / 2002 / July 25 2002: Dublin docklands body is opposed to Luas plan for Connolly station

The Dublin Docklands Development Authority is opposing plans to remove the ramp at Connolly Station to make way for a street-level Luas terminus, even though it stands to gain up to €20 million from its demolition. In a letter to the new Railway Procurement Agency, the docklands authority is understood to have expressed strong reservations about the scheme, which it sees as an impediment to extending the Luas line from Tallaght into the docklands area. The rail agency's board recently reaffirmed plans to demolish the ramp on the basis that this was the scheme approved in October 2000 following a public inquiry into revised plans for the Luas line from Middle Abbey Street to Connolly Station.
