Dáil committee expresses concerns at ‘eye-watering’ €150m lost on abandoned transport projects

Public Account Committee members criticised wasted spending on the Metrolink and Dart Interconnector (PA)

The Dáil's spending committee has severely criticised the loss of €150m in Exchequer funds on abandoned transport projects, including Metrolink.

A report states that €99m was lost on the old Metro North project, and expenditure of €18.7m was lost on Metro West, as the suspended project is not included in the National Development Plan or National Transport Authority strategies.
