View answerIn September 2003, my Department engaged Goodbody Economic Consultants to conduct a study into a number of issues related to the business case for the proposed construction of a metro from Dublin city centre to the airport. The report was received in October 2003 and subsequent clarification of a number of points has been required. The Department commissioned the report to assist in the formulation of advice to the Minister on a project which, if approved by Government would have major financial implications for the Exchequer.
