Interestingly enough, the Luas link up, due for completion in 2008, has gone quiet, very quiet indeed since the route options came out November 2005. Considering metro north route options have come, Cherrywood has gone through PI, Point depot line is at PI and Citywest has gone in for RWO it looks like the luas link up might be under scrutiny at a higher level. Maybe that or maybe not. It was always seen as Cullen's pet project. Personally, if it doesn't get build by 2008 I wouldn't be too bothered as long as the metro comes in on time but I suspect construction synchronising would be needed. Would be the most obvious example of duplication.

Another one would be rail commuter services to Tuam from Galway and the Galway - Tuam dual carriageway which I would presume will have more attractive journey times by bus.
