I am very optimistic about how a proper Metro line in our area could greatly improve our transport options and as a result our quality of life.

The recent publication of two proposed routes for Metro West is very important. Those of us living and working in the greater Clondalkin and Lucan areas need to follow the Metro project carefully.

The final routes selection must be the best deal possible. Metro West will play a huge role in shaping our lives in Dublin Mid-West for decades to come. Therefore we must have our say on this vital piece of tranport infrastructure coming through our local area. Study the route maps and engage with the public consultation process as it is rolled out. Make your preferences known to the decision makers.
