State spends up to €80 million on Dublin city centre site for MetroLink

irishtimes.com

The state has spent up to €80 million acquiring a prime Dublin city centre site for the MetroLink project. Transport Infrastructure Ireland (TII) purchased over 2.5 acres of the former "Carlton Site" on O'Connell Street from UK property group Hammerson. This acquisition aims to streamline MetroLink construction. The deal removes the need for compulsory purchase, though the full 5.5-acre site was not bought. Future development of the acquired land will involve state bodies and a new masterplanning process.
