Transport 21 includes a budget provision for the implementation of a Metro line from the City Centre to Swords via Dublin Airport to be completed by end 2012. The mandate to the RPA is to deliver the project within that budget provision and timescale. The design of the project is a matter for the RPA within that overall mandate. I am not in a position at present to release details of the cost of Metro North because the details are commercially sensitive from the point of view of protecting public funds and getting best value for money.
