Boost for new project

Dublin's Metro North project received a boost today with the news that Minister for Transport Noel Dempsey has given approval for Exchequer funding.

It will be used to fast-track design work on the construction of the underground stations at the new Mater Hospital and Terminal 2 in Dublin Airport.

The Rail Procurement Agency says this will help the tendering process.

They are due to finalise plans by the end of the summer.
