TCD may be affected by Luas link line

The Irish Times

The Railway Procurement Agency (RPA) may seek to have the walls and railings of Trinity College Dublin moved back at Nassau Street and lower Grafton Street to accommodate the proposed Luas link line through the centre of the city. The agency said yesterday that there were difficulties in accommodating both Luas and buses along the narrow central city streets around the college, and while it "would have respect for the built environment", the RPA "wouldn't rule out moving the wall and railings to take land". The RPA would have to seek a railway order from the Minister for Transport before proceeding with such a proposal.
