A computer-generated image of the northeast corner of St Stephen’s Green showing the proposed MetroLink station and repositioned Wolfe Tone monument. The OPW is in conflict with State transport body Transport Infrastructure Ireland (TII) over plans for a metro station at St Stephen’s Green, which the OPW said involves “demolition or destruction” in the historic park. The 18.8km line is planned to run from north of Swords to Dublin Airport, then on to Ballymun, Glasnevin, O’Connell Street and St Stephen’s Green before terminating at Charlemont, with 16 stations along the route. However, it had not been possible to reach agreement in relation to St Stephen’s Green, where the OPW “does not accept there will be no demolition or destruction”, he said. “TII is very conscious of the historical significance of St Stephen’s Green and its importance to the city of Dublin, and TII is committed to making every effort to mitigate the impacts on St Stephen’s Green,” he said.

Russia has dismissed Ukraine’s plan to hold a peace conference without its involvement, as Kyiv said its forces had abandoned a village near the recently occupied eastern town of Avdiivka and taken up strong defensive positions in Kupiansk to the north. Kyiv said its troops were also on the defensive in the Kupiansk area of Kharkiv region in the northeast, which was liberated in September 2022. “The main settlement [targeted by] the enemy there is still Kupiansk, where it continues to mass all its forces and reserves. In this area it also has quite a lot of different equipment and personnel… In addition, KAB [guided bombs] and Su-34 and Su-35 [fighter jets] are now being used very heavily,” said Ukrainian military spokesman Illia Yevlash. “The president is informed online about the situation at the front… He is made aware of everything instantly,” Mr Peskov said.
