Commitment

Deliver MetroLink, BusConnects and Luas projects

What this means

  • Fine Gael promised in its 2024 general election manifesto to make major public transport projects a priority for delivery.[source]
  • The commitment covers three named projects: MetroLink, BusConnects, and Luas expansions, all aimed at improving public transport in Dublin.[source]
  • Fine Gael also committed to extending MetroLink to South West Dublin, widening the reach of the planned rail line beyond its original scope.[source]
  • This is a promise made on 17 November 2024. No delivery date has been set, so voters cannot yet hold the party to a specific timeline.[source]
  • Tracking whether these projects are funded and built is important for accountability, as large transport schemes in Ireland have faced delays and cost changes in the past.[source]
