BAM to get contract and then taxpayers pick a number and multiply it by 4.
>Dr Sweeney has refused to speculate on what the cost of the project will be, but said that construction inflation means it will be higher than the figure of €9.5 billion which was projected in 2021.
>He said his team are taking the price tag “very, very seriously” and will deliver an estimated cost to Government by the end of the year, but until the tenders are received in 2027, the real price tag for the project will not be known.
Smart man.
Irrespective of changes in scope and increase in costs due to inflation, whatever the first number is will be taken as the base and used for articles claiming that the project has “doubled in price”.
Another Children’s Hospital, i.e. milk the cow until they forget about it?
Costs are going to be astronomical regardless.
But we need this infrastructure and we need it now. The sooner we start, the cheaper it will be.
They estimated up to 12.5 billion a while back (the 9.5 billion was the low estimate which in Ireland means it was wrong before it was published). And now it seems they are already increasing the cost and not one shovel has been stuck in the ground yet. It will be close to 20 billion when finished.
It’ll be money well spent regardless.
It’s so far off in the distance that it’s blurry.
Doesn’t matter how much it costs, it’ll be worth it
Can we just get the bloody thing started, whatever the cost, and stop rambling on about it!
Of course they won’t know the costs until the tenders are in.
Everything before that is an estimate.
And even at that, the risk register on a project like this will be huge, to allow for known unknowns and unknown unknowns.
To be fair, the state are not going to have a repeat of the children’s hospital so I guess this will be the most meticulously planned infrastructure project Ireland has ever undertaken although frustrating I understand why it’s taking them a long time to break ground.
The longer we leave it, the more expensive it will be. It should be approved by An Coimisiún Pleanála soon. Time to get on with it.
Should be just in time for the children’s hospital, then.
Seems crazy to spend that type of money when only a quarter of the population lives in dublin. If that money got distrubuted around the country, more infrastructure projects could be completed, and the impact would be felt by the wider population.
Who cares just build it, it’s needed!
The best time to start a pension is the day you started work. The second best time is today.
Feel like this also applies here.
I shit not, there are people on LinkedIn who have worked for Metro Dublin for a decade. Think about that. They work for a company set up to provide a service that doesn’t exist and doesn’t even have planning permission.
Estimated cost was 9.5 billion in 2021 prices. It’s likely to be north of 13 billion. Just build the fucking thing
They’ll be no metro anyway as it’s sadly beyond our capabilities to build one.
What you’re saying is there’s zero chance of it being built before I’m actually too old to use it to get home after a few post work pints.
