I either agreed with some, or passed others as I did not see them as a major concern which can't be dealth with.

hmm, not sure about that. Have to think about it more...we talking Dorset Street here in more of less the centre of a European capital city with a potential to bring in passengers from all over for Croker and the Mater. It's not a greenfield location so there are plenty of urban synergies which automatically add a viablility factor to this idea and if it starts the ball rolling towards getting trains running through the PPT then I personally would be on that bandwagon right off that mark - but that's just me, as I have spent many years working on the PPT route so I admit there is an emotional factor which I am being driven along by to a certian extent as well.

Because the Mater is the sight which is 99.9% likely to happen.
