The extension of the Luas line to Finglas in north Dublin, the first expansion of the tram system since 2017, is facing new delays following a court challenge to the project. Don O’Neill, managing director of Manhattan Peanuts, said the legal action was not taken in order to oppose the Luas extension. The line would also provide interchanges with rail services at Broombridge, which is also on the planned DART+ West line between Dublin city and Maynooth. The Green line began operations from Sandyford in to St Stephen’s Green 21 years ago. The more significant cross-city extension from St Stephen’s Green to Broombridge began services in 2017 and was designed to provide for a link to Finglas.
