Council has ‘full confidence’ in troubled tunnel

DUBLIN City Council yesterday said it had full confidence in the capital’s troubled Port Tunnel, due to open in April.

After it emerged last week that half a litre of water per second was leaking into the underpass, City Manager John Fitzgerald confronted controversial issues like leaks as well as the height, cost and damage to homes from boring.

He said there had been a lot of misinformation and an inordinate amount of publicity about the €752 million tunnel.
