Metrolink is a “critically important” project and the Government will continue to develop it even if there are economic shocks from a EU-US trade war, the transport minister has said.

Darragh O’Brien said he wants to see construction work begin on the Dublin Metro during this term of Government, which is due to last until 2029.
