Noel Rock: ...to Finglas. Lord knows it would not be a transport committee meeting with the current witnesses if I did not take the opportunity to ask a question on the matter. My understanding is that once the metro north project concludes its design phase - the preferred route will be finalised following the public consultation - the design teams could move to the Luas lines, and that could...

It was a difficult decision, but it had to be done, given the state of the country's finances at the time. The new proposal is even better. It is no longer Metro...

Dessie Ellis: Sinn Féin has always supported metro north. It will benefit the environment as it will remove thousands of cars from our streets every week and carry more than 50 million passengers per year. There are major benefits relating to employment, not just during the construction phase, which would provide 4,000 jobs, but afterwards, with the creation of new jobs and businesses all along the...

Seanad: Project Ireland 2040: Statements (7 Mar 2018)

Brian Ó Domhnaill: ...I am worried that there is no mention in the framework of the public spending code or of the need for value for money in the delivery of these projects.

Neither the first nor the second cost-benefit analysis...

Louise O'Reilly: I will focus on the health aspects of the plan but it would be remiss of me not to mention metro north, or metro link as it is now known. I went to look for my old election posters when I heard the announcement because it is a sure sign that an election is coming; it is definitely not a sure sign that metro north, metro link or anything like it, will be coming. The people of north county...

Michael McDowell: ...great fanfare over the announcement of the State capital programme recently.
