Transport Minister Darragh O'Brien confirmed that the State will purchase ten homes on Dartmouth Square in Ranelagh, each valued around €2.5 million, to enable the MetroLink project. Transport Infrastructure Ireland agreed to buy the properties after successful mediation with residents. Twelve residents in Dartmouth Square West withdrew judicial review proceedings challenging the rail line. A nearby home recently sold for about €2.7 million, prompting a question about whether the State was willing to pay similar prices per house. The purchases aim to clear the route, secure land needed for construction, and support project timelines for Dublin's MetroLink.
