Ciarán Maguire and Maeve de Berka, thank you both very much. voice-verified

Let's take a break. voice-verified

Today with David McCullagh · Spiraling Metro house costs · 31 Jul 2026 podcast

I want to begin this morning, though, with the €9 million-plus change that was paid for four homes on Dublin's Dartmouth Square. voice-verified

That was what Transport Infrastructure Ireland had paid to get Metrolink out of the courts and under construction. voice-verified

But it means that the final bill for the 15 homes there that might need to be bought could be as much as €34 million. voice-verified

In a minute, we will ask an infrastructure procurement expert if that's value for money in the long term or a blank checkbook to objectors. voice-verified

First, though, let us get the detail. voice-verified

Cillian Woods had this story in the Irish Times this morning. voice-verified

Good morning, Cillian. voice-verified

Tell us about these houses. voice-verified

These are all kind of two-storey over basement red brick townhouses, aren't they? voice-verified

What's the individual price being paid? voice-verified

Is it above or below market value? voice-verified

And will these homes still be there at the end of construction with a Metrolink stop right outside their front door? voice-verified

Or do the houses get demolished? voice-verified

We'll get an expert view on whether they are going to make their money back or not. voice-verified

But just as you look along the proposed route for Metrolink now, how many more of these narratives are going to unfold? voice-verified

Cillian Woods, thank you very much. voice-verified

Keep listening though. voice-verified
