At the time, Minister for Transport Martin Cullen said that he would approve a public inquiry into a Cherrywood extension of Luas "within seconds" of it being placed in front of him.
Meanwhile, the Luas Red Line celebrated its first year in operation today. The route runs from Connolly Station to Tallaght.
