Dáil to address tunnel ‘fiasco’

TRANSPORT Minister Noel Dempsey is to be questioned in the Dáil about the €750 million Dublin Port Tunnel “fiasco”.

Wednesday’s nine-hour closure — the latest in a series of malfunctions of systems and water leaks — resulted in traffic chaos for most of the working day throughout the city.

This week’s closure was due to a malfunction of the tunnel’s electronic systems.
