Wednesday 8th July: Metrolink Milestone, E-Scooter Crackdown & FAI Decision Day

Season 19 Episode 52 Published 3 months, 3 weeks ago
Description

Metrolink moves a step closer after Transport Infrastructure Ireland acquires a major section of O’Connell Street, but questions remain over rising costs and whether Ireland’s biggest infrastructure project could become a financial burden.


Meanwhile, concerns grow over e-scooter safety after almost half of Temple Street’s ICU beds are occupied by children with head injuries linked to accidents, prompting calls for tighter regulation.


And the FAI votes on whether to proceed with the controversial Ireland vs Israel fixtures — but will the decision settle the debate?

Elaine Loughlin, Political Editor, Irish Examiner 

Adrian Weckler, Technology Editor, Irish Independent
