Government expects to pay €109m before MetroLink build even begins

The Markievicz apartments and sports and leisure centre on Luke Street, Dublin. They are the subject of an eviction order to make way for the MetroLink.

The Government expects to pay up to €109m in additional expenditure before Dublin’s MetroLink project even begins construction.

The enormous €3bn infrastructure project, which has cost nearly €250m to date, will, if completed, connect Dublin Airport with the southside of the city via a light rail link.
