If Luas means speed in Irish what does Gluas mean? G-speed?

The bodies involved are:

An Taisce
Galway Chamber of Commerce
Galway City Business Association
Galway City Community Forum
Galway Green Party/Comhaontas Glas na Gaillimhe
Galway Healthy Cities Project
Kenny Group
NUIG (representatives from Engineering, Geography and Political Science and Sociology)
Student Union (NUIG)
Tram Power Ltd.

Seems to be it is cutting costs on the quantity of infrastucture needed.

I take it Gluas is a watered down Luas in the same guise that Metro-West is a watered down Metro North and Metro North is a watered down actual metro system? God, when do we ever do anything straight up in this country?

Hmm, Tram Power. Their prototype incinerated itself on the Blackpool system last year. http://www.raib.gov.uk/cms_resources..._Blackpool.pdf
