Sir, – The sight at Dublin Airport in recent days of new arrivals trying to make their way by taxi to the city centre ought to give a sense of urgency to the powers that be to address the transport problem.
I can’t think of a better example of Ireland’s atomised and capital-light transport policy than seeing hundreds of new arrivals being moved one or two at a time by taxi. But the most depressing element was not the long snaking queues outside the terminal building of people waiting for a taxi.
It was rather the realisation that this sorry state of affairs of no rail connection to the airport will continue until at least the next decade.
Given how long we have already waited for Metrolink, is it entirely unreasonable to ask for it to be completed in a shorter time? – Yours, etc,
