How are you comparing Metro North with a suburban commuter line? They don't serve the same areas (except for Drumcondra) and they don't serve the same functions.

Also, the population would be lower than on a line that ran from Kent Station through Cork City Centre onto UCC (13,000 students) and CIT (17,000 students) to Ballincollig, but that's not even being considered for a tramway.
Are you saying that the population of Dublin city centre and Dublin north central is less than the population of Cork and Ballincollig (which between them have a residential populations of less than 150,000)? I seriously doubt that.
