Dublin MetroLink Cost Skyrockets | Global News

Dublin’s MetroLink project is ballooning in cost—now estimated between €14.4 billion and €17.5 billion, more than doubling its 2022 forecast—and aims to revolutionize transit with a 19.4-kilometer underground line linking the city center to the airport, connecting north and south Dublin, integrating with DART and Luas, and eventually serving 20,000 passengers per hour. While officials acknowledge the steep price tag, they tout its economic and sustainability benefits, with trains running every three minutes during peak hours and future Belfast connections via Connolly station. Construction is slated for the early 2030s, pending final bids and government approval by late 2027.
