Saggart Luas stop

Saggart (Irish: Teach Sagard) is a stop on the Luas light-rail tram system in Dublin, Ireland. It opened in 2011 as the terminus of an extension of the Red Line.[1] The stop is located on a section of reserved track next to Citywest Drive near Saggart village in south-west Dublin.[2] It is also close to Whitechurch and Baldonnel. To the north of the stop, a large area has been set aside for a development called Parklands, which is planned to include over 150 houses, two new schools, retail and a large sports area. As of 2020, development has begun onsite.[3]
