MetroLink boss Sean Sweeney has estimated that the cost of buying homes in south Dublin will be “more than €30m”, but says some may not choose to sell their houses as the value is likely to go up once the project is completed. In December, 19 residents of Dartmouth Square in Ranelagh withdrew judicial review proceedings after Transport Infrastructure Ireland (TII) agreed to purchase 10 properties. While no sale price has been agreed, Mr Sweeney says each of the residents have agreed to the process. After reaching an agreement with Dartmouth residents, TII is now working with coming up with new estimates as to when construction will be completed. Mr Sweeney said that he is hopeful that construction work will get underway in late 2027.
