Suggestions of "drastic cost overruns and further delays" to Dublin's Metrolink are unacceptable, Ivana Bacik has said.

The Labour leader said her party is committed to the rollout of the project as a vitally important piece of public infrastructure for the city, but said it is conscious of the costs and delays to date.
