      Well yeah, 30m < 1 or 2bn euro.

      Does highlight the need to change planning rules though

      Easy to burn through money when it’s not your own, but at this stage let’s just get this fucking thing built

      This does have the whiff of a buy-off given that the purchase was tied to removing an objection, but the core assertion that it’s peanuts compared to months or years of delay is correct.

      Presumably they will buy at a premium, so it’s basically a bribe. Absolute fucking madness. They weren’t even due to be directly affected by the metro. The station is half a mile down the road.

      It is €30m now but how much will they be able to sell these properties for when the metro is built?

      It could be a shrewd investment if well managed, and also gets rid of a potential long and expensive delay caused by the objectors.

      There’s no way they are buying them for fair market value. Given everyone signed up, I’d say it is well over.

      Rather than fix the system, those who obstruct it get paid off

      I’m gonna stick my neck out here and say I don’t mind this. I’m wary of the €30m „plus“. Plus could mean €100m. It’s too arbitrary for my liking. However, if it were as clean as €30/40m and they withdraw the objection and we can start building this thing, it’s not a bad thing. People are complaining that people are being paid off, but that’s better than the alternative, which we have experienced on many capital projects where they get delayed, frustrated, caught up in legal challenges, judicial reviews etc., for 30 or 40 years. Given the cost of the project, if all it takes to get a shovel in the ground is ~€30m, do it. Get the bloody thing built.

      Dublin City council seem to love destroying anything beautiful and valuable- honestly must stem from jealousy

      That is one of the most gorgeous squares – I can’t see it getting through
      They have access to ranelagh pk
      This already feels like a shit show in the making
