Metro North should be binned now

The controversy concerning the metro to Dublin Airport grows.

I am neither an economist nor a politician but it seems the building of such a metro is simply an extravagance that we cannot afford or need.

Why not build a spur from the Malahide line to the airport? There is already a tunnel linking Heuston to Connolly stations.

Irish Rail seem to argue that the tunnel is not a runner as there is not enough platform space at Connolly. It sounds far too weak an argument Why not develop Connolly?

Michael O'Leary is right, there is not need at all for Metro North.
