The Minister for Transport is coming under fire tonight over revelations that LUAS will be delayed for a year.
Fine Gael say it is possible to open up parts of the LUAS line in the next six to eight weeks if needed.
Deputy Denis Naughten insists commuters should not have to wait a whole year if there are parts of Dublin's new light rail system ready.
The Fine Gael spokesperson for Transport says the section under test today with Minister Seamus Brennan could open up relatively soon if needs be.
