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

Let's take a break.

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.

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.

First, though, let us get the detail.

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.
