what you say is true of Metro North (or indeed west) but isnt as true as Dart Underground, because it will facilitate high frequency (well, you know) EMU trains on the Commuter lines from Kildare and Louth, with interchanges to both Luas lines in high usage and handy areas. Thats far form the limited impact of a stand alone metro line. Throw in the few million to re-jig Glasneven and North Wall junctions to allow intercity trains use the PPP and Connolly/Docklands/go right to Belfast and you suddenly have a flexible dynamic system which we most certainly do not have now.
The €36 million is not going on redundancies.
Dublin Bikes is great, but it cant be used at terminal railway stations ( i am led to belive) because all the bikes will be taken in the morning rush hour and the other ranks wouldnt have capacity to accept them.
