Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport

Transport Strategy for the Greater Dublin Region: Discussion

Ms Anne Graham:

The metro station is proposed for the east side of St. Stephen's Green as opposed to the west side, which is where the green line operates. We can all agree that the metro should be connected to the green line because we want to avoid the problems we had in terms of lines not being connected. That is what Luas cross city solved. It made sure that there were connections between the lines. The alignment that has been chosen runs alongside the east side of St. Stephen's Green because that it allows for an easier connection to Charlemont.
