The tunnelling of the underground section of the Metrolink is set to run under the Houses of the Oireachtas creating a noise akin to “a washing machine” for the duration of its construction, public representatives have been told. The revised Metrolink plan, which was announced last Tuesday, is set to include an underground tunnel beneath Leinster House which will run between the Tara Street and St Stephen’s Green stations. Building this tunnel for future construction would be “completely inconsistent” with rerouting the line to Belfield, he said. What I’m against is the cannibalisation of the Green Line into a metro station. “The advantage of that is you can manage the increase in capacity that we will need on the Green line,” Mr Ryan told the Irish Times.
