‘Luas taking you to the Heart of Dublin’ was the chosen theme for the 2010 competition. During the summer of 2010 Luas supported a range of activities and events which were aimed at helping Dubliners and non-Dubliners alike to discover the wide range of attractions which are available in the heart of Dublin City. This competition built these successes and was designed to highlight Dublin’s attractions, particularly those which are close to the Luas lines.
