Change the capital and solve the problem
The problem, as I see it, is that the cost of development in an urban area can be exorbitant in that land for compulsory purchase is so expensive in cities and the cost of planning and dealing with objections from various communities can be prohibitive.
Why then is 80% of national rail infrastructural investment going to the greater Dublin area when much more value for money can be obtained by investing in the national rail network and also in the rail in smaller cities.
