The Galway Luas will be a key part of Galway Metropolitan Area Transport Strategy (GMATS) and must be added to it during the next review.
In the meantime, preferred route selection can be progressed - moving these plans closer to reality.

Every single Fine Gael and Fianna Fáil TD lied to the public that they would continue investing in public transport - just with more roads also.
And they continue to lie about their level of support for public transport. Worth remembering.

From Metro to Dart+ South West to the Luas, this week has shown clearly how this Government is hell bent on sabotaging itself when it comes to providing sustainable Public Transport infrastructure for Ireland instead opting for more roads.

Absolutely none of which matters when motorists speed, play on their phones, drive drunk/drugged/tired, or simply believe they own the road.
My first email this morning is from a resident about motorists speeding through pedestrian lights near homes, schools, a church and a library.
It's constant.

The importance of visibility on our roads cannot be understated, particularly for vulnerable road users including pedestrians, cyclists, e-scooter drivers and motorcyclists.

Fianna Fáil, Fine Gael and the so-called "Rural Independents" reverse the 2:1 spending ratio of public transport vs roads delivered by the Green Party in government.
They're living in cloud cuckoo land — on climate, nitrates, housing, cost of living, public finance…
You name it, they've blown it.

Funding allocations for The National Development Plan...
We can’t cut transport emissions 50% by 2030 with these allocations. This plan doubles down on car-centric thinking—more pollution, less movement, and zero vision for healthy, sustainable transport.

This is appalling. A public transport project that could start tomorrow, and would take loads of traffic on the road, but will not progress at all under this government.
DART+ South West is shelved until 2030. It has full planning approval since 2024, no judicial reviews and is ready to go but construction won't start until after 2030. A lot of housing around Adamstown and Clonburris built in anticipation of this upgrade.

Bringing in new rules with zero public scrutiny or engagement with affected people and advocacy groups is reckless.
The consequences of these decisions will be deeply damaging... and the government is relying heavily on media and public attention having moved on to get away with it..

This is an absolute disaster. Taking away money from ready-to-go public transport projects so that they can chuck more cash at new roads.
The exact opposite direction we should be going.
(Plus: the more you delay projects, the more they cost. Every time.)
