## Resource

Dublin’s MetroLink project just hit a major milestone as Jacobs and Aecom snagged the €550M contract to oversee construction of the 19km rail line from Swords to Charlemont—passing through the airport and city center. This 12-year deal marks the biggest yet for the project, which is now poised to move into full-scale delivery after years of planning. TII’s CEO called it a “critical transition,” emphasizing transparency and value for public money. Meanwhile, nearly €750M has already been spent pre-construction—mostly on land acquisitions, including a €80M O’Connell Street plot and €30M+ in homes near Charlemont. Plans also include demolishing a block near Markievicz Pool to build a new Tara Street station, while TII will fund a new €43M Ringsend pool to replace the aging facility. The consortium, backed by engineering giants like Nicholas O’Dwyer and Ramboll, is ready to deliver this transformative transit link.
