MetroLink property deals could be kept secret as State negotiates to buy land along route

"MetroLink is in negotiations with landowners to buy up land along the proposed route for the underground railway, with individual deals expected to be subject to non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) so prices paid for land will be kept secret."

"Contractors have also been told that the long-delayed rail line could open in phases, rather than waiting until the entire project is finished."

MetroLink is negotiating land purchases along the proposed underground railway route, with individual deals subject to non-disclosure agreements that will keep land prices confidential. Irish contractors express concerns about being relegated to supporting roles on the project and worry that the scale of the development could negatively impact the broader construction sector. The rail line may open in phases rather than waiting for the entire project's completion, allowing earlier service commencement while construction continues on remaining sections.
