Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport

National Roads, Light Rail and Metro: Discussion

2:00 am

Joanne Collins (Sinn Fein)

I have one other question on the MetroLink. I know Mr. Creegan is saying it is a national project. I have another idea of it. Since it is only based in Dublin, it is very hard for me to see how it is a national project. Unless someone comes to Dublin, he or she does not get to use the MetroLink. The estimates as to what the MetroLink project will cost are outdated. Are there safeguards in place to ensure that when the actual cost of the MetroLink comes in, there will not be a pull from the rest of the country and from buses, rail and light rail to feed into the cost of the MetroLink and that we will not lose any other services or see them reduced?
