New Luas line

The cross city Luas line will shortly be in operation.

While it will be technically possible to travel from Saggart to Broombridge or Sandyford and onwards passengers will have to change at Jervis or O'Connell Street.

Why was it decided not to run through trams?

And surely it should have been so designed that passengers could transfer from one line to the other at the same stop. Could a common stop not have been built on Abbey Street, or indeed a stop at the junction of Abbey and O'Connel Street?

The current design means that people will have to walk some metres to change trams.

The Dominican Church of Saint Saviour in Dominick Street will be served by the refurbished and extended Luas. It will be a God-send to the pastorally-minded church community as it will swell the numbers attending the various celebrations which take place there. It will also provided much-needed revenue to and for the formation community. It's likely that there will be a big demand for more one-to-one contact with the priests, for confessions and other ministries. All in all a development which is very much to be welcomed.
