Maybe I won't be talking about it, but in 2060, talking about this again.
It's a massive undertaking.
And as I said, it is the equivalent of building one of the big train stations, but smack bang in the city centre.
But then that will come with the benefits once it's done.
There's going to be a huge amount of disruption when this starts.
Equally, there's going to be another train station or something similar in terms of an interchange.
in Glasnevin.
They're both going to be very disruptive under construction.
But once they're built then, when you go to London, for example, and you see it won't be the scale of some of the stations there, but that's the type of thing that we should be able to see when it happens.
And I do think this site on O'Connell Street, you know, it seems very, very expensive because we've never done anything like this before.
But this is what all other cities do.
I'm in Toulouse at the moment at the World Transport Conference.
a city around the same size as Dublin, and they're out of their second line.
And this is what we need to be emulating.
Yeah, there are others asking the question.
I suppose originally the plan for Metro was, the old Metro North project was that the Metro would go out as far as Sandiford and it would replace the Green Line.
What happened was we cancelled Metro, we built Lewis Cross City and the Metro station in Dublin at Stephens Green was meant to be over where Lewis currently is.
But because we built Lewis Cross City, that couldn't happen.
So we had to completely redesign it.
So it's now over the other corner of the green, bringing it out as far as Charlemont.
