RTE Aertel reporting:

"Work on Dublin's Metro North is still scheduled to start in 2012 but the DART Interconnector has been postponed because of the cutbacks in the government's programme. Transport Minister Noel Dempsey said because the DART Underground project is still in its planning stage and is not ready to go ahead, there will be no money available to start before 2014.

LUAS City Centre and Luas Broombridge lines (Line BXD) , connecting the Green line, which terminates at St Stephen's Green, to the Red Line, which runs along Abbey Street, will not go ahead during the lifetime of the present programme.

LUAS extensions to Lucan and Bray are also on hold"
