Default A speech too far

The worst part of that speech is his comments on the Loop-Line (between Connolly and Pearse) about it being the "main bottle-neck". That is not true. The main bottle-neck is the lack of four tracking (on north and south rail lines) which causes big gaps and other unscheduled delays in the current DART service.
Even if there were 10 lines between Connolly and Pearse the big gaps in DART services would still continue.
Worse still the Dart Underground Railway order if it goes ahead in its current form will seriously increase travel time for a big percentage of current DART users (the very people who made DART a success).
And worse, worse still, the DU RO (as is) lack of foresight will create permanent serious travel time increases which will be difficult to overcome. BUT, THERE IS A BETTER WAY (or is that permanent way).
