Coalition to unveil Dublin airport rail link plan

The Coalition is expected to announce a multibillion-euro project to link Dublin Airport to the city centre by rail and more than 200 upgrades to schools as part of its capital spending budget document tomorrow.

The measures are set to form a central part of the Government’s last building projects blueprint in the lead-up to the general election before being finalised in the budget next month.

The airport link is likely to be the key element of the capital projects spending document and will be similar in nature to a proposal postponed in 2011 as money was not available at that time.
