Planning for Dublin Metro Link

Metro Link (estimated cost €3bn, estimated completion date 2027) will be a light rail system from Swords, via Dublin Airport to Dublin’s south city centre (operating in a tunnel under the city centre) and onwards to Sandyford using the existing Luas Green Line. This will provide Dublin with a high capacity, high-frequency cross-city rail corridor serving key destinations such as Swords, Dublin Airport, Dublin City University, Ballymun, the Mater Hospital and existing destinations along the Luas Green Line to Sandyford. Metro Link will provide faster reliable journey times to and from these key destinations while offering interchange with other rail, DART Expansion, light rail and bus services.
