Transport policy as bankrupt as the state

I WISH to congratulate Peadar Ó Laoire (Letters, May 22) for highlighting the “daft” proposal to spend millions digging a rail tunnel connecting Heuston and Connolly stations in Dublin when, as he says, a virtually unused rail connection between the two stations already exists.

That proposal goes along with the equally daft proposal to spend millions building a metro to the airport while at the same time cutting down on the relatively inexpensive bus service.

Anyway, if the very under-utilised Port Tunnel had been made a bit bigger there would be no need build a metro at all.
