Brian Hayes

Question:

302 Deputy Brian Hayes asked the Minister for Transport and the Marine the estimated cost of the Metro North line; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [22441/07]

Written answers

Minister for Transport and the Marine (Deputy Noel Dempsey)

I am not in a position to publish the estimated capital cost of Metro North in advance of the completion of public procurement procedures. The publication of such commercially sensitive information prior to the completion of the competitive procurement process would prejudice the State's capacity to derive maximum value for money in respect of the project.
