Public Transport: Motion
Seanad Éireann — 2021-11-03
============================================================

Michael McDowell (IND), National University of Ireland

I move amendment No. 2:
To insert the following paragraphs after “calls on the Government to:”
“- conduct a cost benefit analysis on public monies spent to date on the MetroLink project, publish all budget overruns, outline the overall final budget for the project and confirm a completion date for MetroLink;
- conduct a review of the BusConnects project in Dublin measuring current and projected future public transport demand in light of the Government’s promotion of working from home initiatives and the relocation of certain workers to locations outside of Dublin;
- confirm there is no plan to construct a MetroLink southern route towards Terenure and Rathfarnham or towards Belfield and Stillorgan and the reason these routes are not being proposed in view of the statement by the NTA to Dublin City Council that there is now an agreed route for MetroLink underground at Earlsfort Terrace;”
