The first trains on Dublin's long-delayed underground train line are set to run by 2034.
The MetroLink is estimated to cost €9.5 billion but could balloon up to €12.25. There has already been €250 million spent on the project. The massive infrastructure project was first mooted 22 years ago when it was expected to cost £4.3 billion.
Chair of Dublin City Council's Transport Committee urged the Government to follow through on the new deadline. Councillor Noeleen Reilly said Dubliners are "blue in the face" listening to commitments over the last few decades from different Governments.
