Archiseek / Ireland / News / 2003 / April 30 2003: CIE clashed with rail agency over Luas stop at Connolly

A fierce row erupted between CIÉ and the Railway Procurement Agency (RPA) over the demolition of the ramp at Connolly Station to facilitate a terminal stop for the Tallaght Luas line. CIÉ even sought a District Court order last October to deny the RPA and its contractors access to the ramp, having failed to obtain information on how the work was to proceed and what provisions were being made to service the station. The row between the two State agencies became so intense that an assistant secretary at the Department of Transport, Mr Andrew Cullen, suggested in November that an arbitrator should be appointed to resolve the issues at stake.
