All of them could be solved if the will was there (with the possible exception of the Spencer Dock teporary station, and that could be mitegated by having the Interconnector ready as early as possible).
The O'Connell St Metro stop, could be integrated with Luas Red line by shifting the line east a little and putting the station directly under Abbey St. It would mean the station would have to be mined, though, which would add to the cost.
The Maynooth line connection is easily fixed, either by putting a mined station directly under Prospect, or more easily by moving it to Durmcondra.
And, of course, there's no sane reason not to make use of the Park Tunnel. All that would seem to be required is a connection from the Drumcondra line to the temporary station. This would add considerable value to the €30 million price tag for the temporary station.
