George's Dock Luas stop
Luas Red Line · Duga Sheoirse
About George's Dock
Trams and cars share the two lanes of George’s Dock, the road that gives this stop its name, and the two edge platforms are built flush into the pavement on either side. It opened in 2009 as one of four stops on the Red Line’s extension through the docklands, facing the main part of Dublin Port across the water.
It is also the point where the line divides. East of the stop a single route runs on to The Point; west of it the tracks join the branch that serves Connolly before passing Busáras and heading through the city centre towards Tallaght and Saggart, so every Red Line tram passes this way. The bridge carrying the line west of the stop was damaged by fire in August 2025 and Transdev said it would be rebuilt over the following months. On the signs the stop is Duga Sheoirse.
