The total spend on the Metro North project until the end of 2014 was €166m. €67m of this expenditure can be considered as lasting value expenditure that is still required for the current MetroLink project. Of the other €99m, approximately €28m was related to Railway Procurement Agency (RPA) staff and associated expense costs.

At the end of June 2023, a total of circa €121m has been invested in MetroLink.

The NTA has statutory responsibility for the planning and development of public transport infrastructure in the Greater Dublin Area. Noting the NTA's responsibility in the matter, I have referred the Deputy's question to the NTA for a direct reply on the specific issue raised. Please contact my private office if you do not receive a reply within 10 days.
