Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport and Communications: DART Underground and Expansion Projects: National Transport Authority (5 Nov 2015)

Timmy Dooley: I thank Ms Graham for the presentation. My only concern about the DART underground decision is to do with the decision making process itself. If we look back to 2010 when there was an initial cost benefit analysis done on DART underground, the business case suggested a 4.23:1 ratio when measured using the traditional cost benefit analysis - considered to be approximately a €13.3....

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport and Communications: DART Underground and Expansion Projects: National Transport Authority (5 Nov 2015)

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport and Communications: DART Underground and Expansion Projects: National Transport Authority (5 Nov 2015)

Timmy Dooley: It can undermine public confidence in the way the State does its business. In 2010, when we were at the height of an economic crisis, projections would have been at an all-time low and the general outlook was uncertain, to say the least. Yet, we still get a higher turnout on the basis of the investment. Let us move on to 2015 when things are looking far brighter. We are understood to be...
