Transport Minister Darragh O'Brien confirmed that 10 homes on Dartmouth Square in Ranelagh, valued at around €2.5 million each, will be purchased by the State to support Dublin's MetroLink development. Transport Infrastructure Ireland agreed to acquire the properties after mediation with residents of 12 houses in Dartmouth Square West. Those residents withdrew judicial review proceedings that had challenged the proposed rail line. A home on Dartmouth Square recently sold for about €2.7 million, prompting questions about whether the State would pay similar prices for each required property.
