No

5:26 you goy wrong map 🤦🏻

Ireland needs metro and in the pther cities trams!

Will UCD never get a rail link!!!

The cost of not doing it is higher than the cost of doing it. It's durable infrastructure!

Irish leaving country for holidays....and also weather ....ireland get hit by most storms in every weekend so irish people prefer partyinng at home ..

Becouse the old fuckers that run this country are allergic to progress it won't get one

In Bucharest we extended our metro system 10 kilometres, and 12 stations in 8 years only.

I really hope this works

Keep in mind we are talking about one line... lisbon has I think 3 or 4 lines, madrid 9 or something

The British Left Dublin an extensive Tram system 100 yrs ago Paddy ripped it up with big gobshite De Valera grin on his face

I stopped drinking. Many are doing the same.

Funny how he compares costs to another Anglo nation than other EU countries. Grand Paris Express costs significantly less than $500 million per km for a significantly more complex and difficult project.

The MetroLink plan is absolutely insane! Low intermodality - no connection with mainline rail or DART until Tara Street, away (short walk) from Luas stop on O’Connell Street, other side of Stephens Green from the Luas stop and then terminating at a Luas stop in the city. I agree though it stop at a number of important locations which is good but like Luas it is fundamentally flawed. We need to think big or don’t bother, we can’t afford the avoidable expense that was Luas Crosscity, Luas shouldn’t have been built withiout it

I think that Ireland should first replace Atari computers with new PCs. Why? Because at the moment the way roads are designed is a shame. Look at how it is done in Europe. when they master computers and roads, you can build a metro

The only way we'll ever get real infrastructure is if the chinese come over here and build it, because fuck knows the Irish government won't. Hell, they'd sort out the rent gouging issue too

NO NO NO. This metro project will be a disaster for Dublin’s taxpayers and motorists like me self. It will also cause crime to spread to calmer neighborhoods and increase criminals mobility within the city. A useless project to be frank, I will not be using the metro so why pay for it? In my opinion busses could have been prioritized and increasing the number of parking spots in central Dublin - as well as widening roads to decrease congestion for normal people that actually need the car to survive. And for what? To decrease the time for holiday-goers to Tenerife to save a few minutes to the airport???

Just bring Chinese company they build for less and on time

We have a metro in Dublin

There’s the Luas so we don’t need one

Irish infrastructure is a joke......

Our TDs and local councillors pushed against directly elected Mayors, simply because their power was threatened. What's worse is that the people bought the con, except for the people in Limerick, fair play to them.

Please don't be dumb and build a metro. Go for the overhead electromagnetic Chinese cable cars like the Spanish are, which are 1/10th the cost and could be constructed in 1/10th the time ANYWHERE. Having said that, I'm pretty sure the government will do what it always does and make completely the wrong decision. Everyone will moan and vote them in again at the next election.

Doubt it

I am from India and when I came to Dublin I missed the Metro trains back in India so much, the public Transpiration is same as the weather here. It feels like Ireland achieved "developed country" status in early 80-90s and hasn't developed since then. Everything is Outdated and inconvenient . a country with dying population does really need development is what people ask.

€350,000 for a bike rack. €2,240,000,000 for an unfinished hospital. Good luck. The Corruption is laughable

Unfortunately, poor planning and ballooning costs on infrastructure projects seem to be a staple of the anglosphere. Australia, Canada, UK, New Zealand, Ireland, USA... all the same in this regard. Too many fingers in the projects trying to get their own little slice and too many approvals increase the cost.

As far as I know cost of an underground metro is 100 million dollars per km including vehicles. 9⅖ euro billion could built 80 km metro. Dublin is talking only 20 km😮. Forgot to mention, very nice video 😊.

Do you think Cork should have metros instead of Luas?

You missed Liverpool metro off your UK map. It's more expansive than both Newcastle and Glasgow

An hour walk to my local bus stop in Sligo commute time 4-1/2 hours per day.2 hour walk. 1 hour on bus. hour and a half wait time to get bus home in the evening. Yeah lets give Dublin a bloody Metro you absolute plonks

They got 13 bn in penalties from Apple! Imagine how easy such a big and important mega project can really be ..

Another 1.5 billion to the hotel companies please

The one MAJOR problem with Ireland's development is a lack of adequate leadership and motivation. I constantly see other EU countries greenlight large and expensive projects with a successful endings, while Ireland can't build something as simple as a hospital building... I'd say the only large scale civil project successfully completed by Ireland was our motorway system. Everything else in this country is just wishful thinking.

I don't want a metro. Our government is so incompetent I just don't think it will ever happen. With the amount of time they're spending on the metro, they could build another Luas line up to the airport. It doesn't need to be underground, we just need better public transit.

First time watching ya, good video, I liked it.

There is no need to build a metro, it is not economically feasible and there is not enough passenger flow to pay for it. It is better to develop a high-speed tram and DART❤

We're actually just incapable of making normal positive decisions like put neighbours do. Ff/fg are actually just too thick

GAA is the main reason. Sheer numbers alone it takes too many away from soccer

The Dublin Metro was supposed to go all the way south to Cherrywood, possibly Bray, along the LUAS line. A small, well-funded and well-connected group of older NIMBYS in Milltown & Ranelagh got a high court injunction AGAINST the metro going all the way out of the city as it would mean a level crossing would be permanently down/locked and they'd have to drive 2 minutes around it.

in 3025 yes

Moving at glacial speed.

Surely in next 100 years

They can’t even clean the streets, there’ll never be a metro

It may become Middle east before that happens.

I really hope they finally start building the metro system this year (2025). It's unbelievable that Ireland doesn't have a metro yet; traffic in Dublin is shocking, but other major towns and cities, such as Galway, are not far behind. I lived in both Dublin and Galway, and it was challenging getting home from work due to the traffic. If Ireland had a decent public transport link, we wouldn't depend so much on cars. I now live in Roscommon, the county town, and although we have a train station, there is no bus station, which is also unbelievable.

Apple can afford to build it. It could be called the Fruit Loop 🍎

much poorer counties achive metro infrastructure, its shame Ireland does not have metro.

for my 10km commute there is no direct line, so I have to opt to stay in traffic for about an hour. Irish gov prefers overly expensive, uniformed and not sustainable choices, so it expects the people to solve issues instead of the government, probably by expecting us to grow wings so we can meet the carbon emission goals

Maybe I'm too cynical, but i dont believe construction will start this year.
