Luas Finglas is the next extension of the Luas Green Line. It will create a new public transport connection between the communities of Charlestown, Finglas Village, Finglas west, St Helena&rsquo;s, Tolka Valley and the city centre.The proposed route is 3.9km in length and will include four new stops: St Helena&rsquo;s, Finglas Village, St Margaret&rsquo;s and Charlestown. A 350-vehicle park and ride facility will be provided near the St Margaret&rsquo;s Road stop, close to the M50.The route will provide interchange opportunities with bus networks at all the new stops and with mainline rail services at Broombridge.Most of the route will be built using grass track, an attractive and sustainable innovation for urban transport in Ireland.Luas Finglas will be comparable to the higher speed sections of the Luas network. At present, journey times from Charlestown to Trinity College in the city centre take approximately 44 minutes during the morning rush hour. Luas Finglas will reduce this to approximately 30 minutes.

Welcome to this non-statutory public consultation on the Emerging Preferred Route (EPR) for Luas Cork. The European Commission has selected Cork to become one of Europe&rsquo;s first climate neutral cities. Luas Cork is a transformative project, developed in close consultation with BusConnects, that aligns with this ambition, supporting the shift from cars to public transport and active travel.Luas Cork is a light rail line from Ballincollig to Mahon.With an estimated journey time of 35 minutes from Ballincollig to the city centre and a further 20 minutes to Mahon, Luas Cork will provide a direct link between Ballincollig, MTU, UCC, Cork city centre, Cork Docklands, Blackrock and Mahon Point.<img src="https://s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/ehq-production-new-eu/a29217b3cba47fa60dcdc00de8b326b5ab597e10/original/1744623028/944cfa69b1e9a59dc69dda547bb11bce_Cork%20Luas%20Route%20April%20Map%202025_web.png?1744623028" style="width: 1050px;" class="fr-fic fr-dib"> Luas is a high-capacity system. Based on transport demand analysis it is expected that up to 2,300 passengers per hour will use the system in each direction at peak times with services running every six minutes, or more frequently if demand increases.Luas runs at street level, making it convenient to hop on and off. With no steps or high platforms, Luas is easily accessible for all users.The Emerging Preferred Route (EPR) includes the potential to construct a Park &amp; Ride facility in Ballincollig and a Mobility Hub in Mahon. Both locations will include bike parking, EV charging and pick up/drop off points. Luas Cork will interchange with bus services along the route and rail services at Kent Station.During the design and construction of Luas Cork, opportunities will be taken to enhance the urban realm and improve landscaping. Using the latest evolution of transport battery technology there will be no overhead cables in the city centre.The capacity, reliability and comfort of Luas Cork will give people an attractive alternative to cars, helping Cork become one of Europe&rsquo;s top climate neutral cities.Before we proceed any further with the design, we want to hear from you.1.
