The promised TMS upgrade has crashed amid software flaws and a 50 million euro budget slash, while obsolete parts mean no upgrades for new services. The government’s National Transport Authority is injecting 20 million euros over three years to shore up Dublin’s signaling, especially near Connolly Station, while insisting on schedule adherence for major projects like the Dart to Wicklow and the Navan line. Critics call this one of the worst public IT failures, warning that delays could cost the state up to 800,000 euros monthly if the Cork signaling project is further delayed.
