Ballymun Regeneration, which is leading a €1 billion revitalisation of the north Dublin suburb, has said its project will be "blighted" by plans to run a "segregated" metro along the new Main Street. Four proposals were considered by the metro developers, the Railway Procurement Agency (RPA). They were a metro "on stilts"; a metro at surface level; a metro in an open trench; and a metro in a "cut and cover" trench. Last week Minister for Transport Martin Cullen told the Oireachtas Committee on Transport that, while a final decision on the method had not been made, the RPA's preference was for a surface metro.
