    If you zoom in close enough on Google Maps it shows the Luas stops (little blue train symbol in a square). If you need coords, just plot a dummy route between the two and it'll show you them (in decimal degrees only) in the start and end address boxes.

    are the luas stops actually named on google? ie, each individual one with its own name

    If you zoom right in to the highest level, yes. Otherwise, if you click on them, a little pop-up balloon comes up with the name (and rather oddly, a link to the dublin bus website !!).

    cool, I can use Google earth now and the TYRE program to create a POI category for all the LUAS stops.
