Residents in the locality of the proposed MetroLink terminus in Charlemont have called for the "extremely tight" consultation period for the project to be extended into next year.
The planning application for the underground rail line was lodged on September 30. The MetroLink will start in Swords and finish in Charlemont and, crucially, serve Dublin Airport under the plans.
Interested parties will have until November 25 - eight weeks from when the plans were lodged - to make observations or objections to An Bord Pleanala. The Charlemont/Dartmouth Community Group, which claims to represent over 1,000 residents, previously called for the Charlemont terminus to be relocated. The group says this period is not long enough for a project of this "monumental scale and impact".
