A top transport official has admitted that the original estimate of 21 minutes for the Luas Cross City journey was overly optimistic.

The Oireachtas Transport Committee is hearing from officials on why Dublin's traffic problems are so bad.

It was announced yesterday that 10 more bus routes would be diverted away from College Green in a bid to ease the gridlock.
