I don't want to sound like I don't understand the concerns, but I'd be careful about making too much of an issue about this.

A Metro would really be the making of Ballymun - it's not long since that brutal roundabout with banger buses running around it was the main feature on that road.

Think of Dominc Hannigan and his Ratoath deviation - all of a sudden a certain route was up in the air, and is one of the main excuses avoiding moving the project along at any pace.

Question is would a viaduct really be worth the project being delayed (and possibly mothballed if there is an economic downturn)?

Honestly speaking, I could see myself and others from Meath using it btw, crazy as that may sound - 17 mins to Stephen's Green from anywhere along the M50 is nothing to be sneezed at..
