There is real confusion about the future development of the MetroLink on the southside of Dublin. It seems that various Ministers are briefing the press on the Government's position, with measures apparently coming from the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport, Deputy Ross, with a four-year delay and, therefore, the project will not go ahead. Can the Tánaiste clarify the Government's timeline to consider the issue? Has it been discussed in Cabinet? Does the Government intend to present a proposal? Has there been any agreement? How can the Government solve the confusion that has arisen from Ministers briefing on the project without any of us having the engineering details to which the Ministers refer?
