Unfortunately it’s been known about for a year

A large part of St Stephen’s Green in Dublin will be closed to allow the building of an underground rail station.

Most of the park is likely to be excavated and construction will continue for two to three years, as part of the building of the new metro and rail network

Yep Breaking News – Frank McDonald does not like the Metro 😮 😮 😮 … and in other news, the Irish Times has discovered what most of us have known about for the past year….

Tss, tss jdivision, I dont like the idea at all of “most of the park is likely to be excavated” – it was my understanding from the RPA that their actions were limited to the northern fringe and nw corner, with traitors gate being reinstated afterwards. Any further light on the “most of” suggestion?

And what is the point of the turnaround loop? This is new to me, and where is the cost/benefit? All from an agency that is trying to save money by skimping on paintwork and tiles :rolleyes:
