If someone could get a map of the metro routes, that would improve the quality of the article. Jvlm.123 15:14, 30 March 2006 (UTC)
- I was just about to say the same thing. -- Beland 03:34, 10 May 2006 (UTC)
- One of the problems with giving maps is that the metro is proposed and not implemented. The danger with this article is that it could be premature, the Luas proposed and implemented had some differences. Djegan 22:22, 11 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Prime Ministerial Vanity?: tagged as unreferenced
As easy as it is to make allegations such as these some reference should be supplied lest it fall fowl of Wikipedia is not original research and/or thus gain common currency. Djegan 15:38, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Tagged: future product
I have tagged the article with the future product template as the project is still in early stages. The proposed Luas five years before implementation was distinctly different to the project that opened and it is only right that such articles be duly identified here. Wikipedia is not a crystal ball. Djegan 15:14, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Prime Ministerial Vanity
Having now added references , why is this being removed ?
- Wikipedia is supposed to be an encyclopedia, not a newspaper opinion page. I think the "Prime Ministerial Vanity" section is very biased and is only being added to satisfy your own need to take a cheap shot at the government. That's not what the article should be about. It's about the propsed metro system. Maybe you should add some more to the "Need for a Metro" section instead. (Also, just for the record, I never removed the "Prime Ministerial Vanity" section because I don't feel it's my position to do so - that would be for the moderators...)

- This doesn't have anywhere near vaguely appropriate references - it's a thinly-veiled inappropriate partisan rant. It has a few pieces of supposed evidence for your case, but you've failed to supply any references to demonstrate that people other than you are making all those points. A news story covering this, or finding someone making all these points in the Official Report, would do, and even then it would limit us to making the points that they are doing.

[edit] Recent Develepment
In recent weeks there has been new news of a planed station for O'Connell Street being under O'Connell Bridge. This news coincided with further developments in the route planing, why has this news not been added to the page. 11th of September 2006 0307 am.
This station does now seem to be part of the plan. Given the unusual nature of such a station, perhaps it might be useful to add in links to pages relating to other sub-river metro stations, if such exist.
[edit] Nonsense sentence
I have just removed the following sentence: One source of current debate is the feasibility of providing an interchange station between the Metro and the DART where their respective lines cross in the vicinity of Glasnevin or Drumcondra.
The reason it is nonsense is that the DART does not go anywhere near either Glasnevin nor Drumcondra. So the metro cannot cross the dart in those areas. Frelke 06:28, 17 September 2006 (UTC)
They are extending the DART and having a new line, which will use the Interconnector.
The Dart "will" serve Drumcondra station with the use of the interconnector, the sentence you ommitted actual does make sense, as the dart will in the future be two interconnecting lines. Balbriggan to hazel hatch, Bray/greystones to Maynooth.
[edit] Maps in this entry
The maps provided don't seem to be very accurate. I suggest that anyone interested drawing up a new map should follow this link to the Railway Procurement Agency website for a more precise template:

(above was written by someone else)
The map on the page has a typo -- "O'Connell St" for "O'Connell Bridge". Can the OP fix? Wwhyte 18:55, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
