Planning permission for Dublin’s MetroLink, linking Swords to Dublin Airport to the city centre, is set to be lodged this September.
The project is set to cost in the region of €9.5 billion and take up to 12 years to complete, which would see it running by the early 2030s.
The plan was rubberstamped by the Cabinet, paving the way for the city’s new public transport infrastructure, the first of its kind in Ireland.
