Have your say on the cost and delivery of Dublin Metrolink

The bill for Dublin's Metrolink has already reached €300m despite construction not yet starting.

The Public Accounts Committee said today that they have been left "frustrated" at the lack of progress and has asked the National Transport Authority to provide reports on the project's “ineffective expenditure”.

The project was first proposed back in 2000 with planning permission for the Metro North line granted in 2011. However, the Metro North line project was later suspended due to the economic downturn and a new Metro North project was announced by the NTA in September 2015, with services due to commence in 2026.
