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

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?
