![]() ![]() It was to be built on the Luas Green line to Sandyford, but deferred following a number of controversies including the fact it would have meant the closure of the existing Luas service for two years. ![]() The Metro South part of the Metrolink project had already been postponed. Now the speculation is that the target date is 2034. Minister Eamon Ryan said the original completion date of 2027 was never realistic. The project was undergoing a business case analysis before application for railway order - equivalent of planning permission - is submitted next year. The €3bn Metro North, providing a mass transit link from Dublin Airport and Swords to Charlemont in the south city, is still going to be built, according to the Government. It is not the only rail project for Dublin to have been shelved or postponed, the most notable being Metro South, DART Underground and the almost forgotten Metro West. Sceptics have long claimed that Dublin's Metro North will never be built and the latest postponement of the project will only encourage that belief.
