Transport committee hears plan for a Metro ‘joined-up’ with a circle line

A METRO including a circle line linking Dublin’s transport hubs would give the city the world-class service that Transport 21 will fail to deliver, an Oireachtas committee heard yesterday.

Civil engineer Cormac Rabbitt of the Dublin Metro Group said the Government should franchise out a metro project for Private Public Partnership (PPP) as soon as possible.

He also told the Joint Transport Committee that a group of three should be established to drive construction forward.
