If you look close up, quite a few trams have taken a battering, with dents and scratches - much of the panelling is lightweight to reduce the risks in collisions (the structure is solid).

Whatever about buying expensive oil, running more trains, but suffering falling numbers because of recession, I suspect the real problem is that the group pension funds need topping up after investment turmoil over the last 2 years.
The RPA will have that hole aswell - although I imagine it will get filled by the exchequer.
The advertising money probably goes back into the Luas fund.

Households on the Luas lines have a potential weekly consumer spend of €4.3bn so any plans to allow advertising on all trams could be a lucrative earner for the RPA.

€4.3bn x 52 = €223.6bn - that exceeds total national income.
