Yeah, seems to be taking Metro North and extending it down to Charlemont to link up with the luas, then they'll run Metro from Swords to Sandyford/Cherrywood. DART Underground with that would be great for Dublin, you'd free up capacity on the rail network and have 6 high capacity lines into Dublin, there's enabling works like electrification/level crossing removal though.
Lot of the good plans seem to be long fingered until 2027, no M20, light rail or metro lines till then anyway, whole thing seems like can kicking.

Jesus even the Busconnects plans for Dublin, Cork and Galway are due for 2027. Now we just wait until then for them to get announced for completion in 2037 in 2027. It's on live on RTÉ if anyone's interested.

My predictions:

>at least 20% of the proposed projects will never get off the ground
>at least 3 of the major projects will collapse after millions have been invested in them
>planning disputes will delay many of the projects for years
>those that are completed will be delivered behind schedule and with massive cost overruns
>just as the new transport infrastructure is coming online, unions will through a hissy fit about something minor

Am I missing anything?

>Students at University College Cork are calling for mandatory sexual consent classes for first year students.
>The college's Feminist Society has collected more than 2,000 signatures in support of its campaign launched this week.
>Ms Griffin said mandatory consent classes are needed to clear up "any blurred lines" around consent, so that students can be best protected.
>NUI Galway and Trinity College Dublin already run such courses, usually given during new students' orientation week.
Do people seriously not realise what consent is or do people just do it anyways?
Are the majority of young people raised like knackers now or something that they don't already know this?

>Episode 6 was really good
I really need to catch up on this. Only watched the first episode. Your AOTS so far?

>RTÉ calling the IRA terrorists
And? Do you agree with that label?

Four might not happen, we've generally been okay with regards to that, but I think we do the Ryanair strategy of overestimated flight times for some of these projects. And you forgot that this will all be announced again in a few years.

>Do you agree with that label?
Of course not. Calling the IRA terrorists for what they did is like calling the Allied Forces terrorists for their battle against the Axis powers, only in this hypothetical the Allies lost.
