Metro set for swift delivery due to construction appetite

THE most ambitious public transport project in our history will enjoy a smooth delivery - thanks to the success of the Luas.

The Railway Procurement Agency (RPA) will, next week, celebrate its fifth birthday on the crest of an unprecedented swell of public enthusiasm for the work on its agenda, including a metro under the capital city.

Its chairman Padraic White said the Luas captured the public’s imagination and, in turn, the tram network thrived on goodwill.
