Archiseek / Ireland / News / 2003 / March 06 2003: Brennan bid to unravel cheaper metro mystery

Transport Minister Seamus Brennan flew to Madrid last night to find out how its new metro is costing six times less than the one planned for Dublin. He wants to know why the Dublin line is costed at €320m per kilometre and the Spanish capital's line at only €50m per kilometre. Also, the costs envisaged for the Dublin project are nearly 12 times dearer than a similar system being developed in Barcelona.
