Moderators, can't find a duplicate...but am surprised so just tell me if my searching skills are useless !!
I read in the [broken link removed]yesterday that the current estimate for building the metro is 1.2bn. Now from recollection this is the figure that the Port tunnel is nearly running at now. The metro is planned to go underground from Stephen's Green to DCU and overground to Swords with a short foray back underground at the airport.
Considering that it has the cost of stations and it is much longer, is the figure of 1.2bn not ridiculously underestimated.
Considering the Port tunnel is running at 3-4 times its original budget, have we learnt nothing from this.
Am I missing something...maybe some of the AAM engineering fraternity can speculate how such a project could be delivered for 1.2bn
