Quarter of a century?? I'm old enough to remember the old CIE proposing such a scheme back in 1971! "No modern capital city should be without a rail link to its airport" and "We need an underground link between Connolly and Heuston stations" and how about "No EEC (Old name for the EU) capital city should be without an underground". I've long since learned that 'announcements' are not the same as actually doing, and to ignore them.
@@FiremanSimon It could be a lot better and the metro project is a fiasco at this stage but there are plenty of other places that are worse. Granted public transport in particular leaves quite a bit to be desired.
Failure everywhere, transport, health system disaster, housing crisis, lack of schools in some region, immigration out of control. We just need a big food supply crisis and we will have a strike. Now is the Metro a priority? Why not improving, extending Luas? Why building a Metro for a city which will be floaded soon if nothing is done on that aspect. I would more invest in a crash course in Netherland on that matter!
I agree we need a metro but in a city which is closest to our biggest trading partners..the European Union..and as all capital cities should recognise where their bread is buttered..Dublin is no longer that city bring the once gateway to the affluent British markets..which sre now looking unattractive for most... modern politics is all about assisting Dublin with that denial... Dublin will be deserted by 2050..bless them !😊
The metro is a waste of time, the luas goes out to cabra why not extend it to the airport, most European airports have either train links or tram links to the cities, Edinburgh, Amsterdam London and Newcastle Airport all have a rail or tram link,the Edinburgh tram system is excellent by the way from the airport right onto prince's Street and if Ireland are playing Scotland at Murrayfield the tram stops right outside the stadium, the dart does stop outside lansdown Road which is good but it doesn't half cause a backlog, the metro north fiasco is costing way too much
Like everything in this joke of a country it will be disaster. We literally cannot do anything on a big scale. It will be done by 2050 and be the most expensive metro line every built and most likely won't work half the time. Spend the billions on housing, hospitals and prison....things we actually need. Vote these people out!
