REPLY
I am aware of the issues in relation to Luas raised with my predecessor by residents at Forest Lawns and Kingswood Heights, Dublin 24.
The Railway Procurement Agency (RPA) have assured me that they are endeavouring to address the concerns the residents expressed in a meeting with my predecessor in April, 2002.
I understand that the work involved and all other works carried out by the RPA in this area are in compliance with the appropriate conditions set out in the Light Railway Order for this Line and, where relevant, have been approved by South Dublin County Council.
