A judicial review of the Metrolink project has been withdrawn in what the Transport Minister called "an early Christmas present".

A group of 19 residents from Dartmouth Square in Ranelagh, Dublin 6, were granted permission by the High Court earlier this month to seek a judicial review of the planning approval for the long-awaited transport project.
