This morning.

A Luas extension to Finglas will put a ‘grass track’ through three local parks, according to the plan that has been drawn up by Transport Infrastructure Ireland.

Via RTÉ:

The 4km Finglas track would provide four extra stops on the Green Line, as well as 600 spaces for a new park and ride facility at the new terminus at Charlestown.

The route going out for public consultation would go through Tolka Valley Park, Barnamore Grove linear park and Mellows Park.

A brochure [at link below] published by TII and the National Transport Authority for public consultation states that this will allow most of the new section to be a grass track, which is “an attractive innovation for urban transport in Ireland”.

Jamestown Road, Finglas, Dublin.

Concerned residents protested against serial sex attacker Robert Melia who they say is terrorising a quiet street of houses where he has been staying since his release from prison.

Melia told authorities he would stay at a hostel near the Phoenix Park but instead went to Finglas. Protesters stuck posters to a property where they believe Mr Melia is living.
