Im a northern line user. The interconnector will get both my fellow northern line users as well as Kildare line users closer to the city centre than ever before. Cant ask for much more than that really.

Fair enough in that regard I suppose, but the point still stands for the times when you want an Intercity service - or to use Bus Áras, for that matter. My mother regularly takes the train to Belfast and the bus to Donegal to see family members - she lives close to Bayside DART station. It sounds like she'll be restricted to taking the Luas from Docklands to Connolly instead of using the direct line to it, as far as I can see. I'm not suggesting a lot of train services be routed via the Loop Line, but surely some of them should be in order to facilitate people like her?
Anyway - if the Loop Line isn't going to be used, is it then going to be redundant and closed down - will the bridges over Amiens St and the Liffey, and the ones over Westland Row and Townsend St be removed?
To bring this back to the topic of media discussion, I've not seen any journalist or the like bring this up - it'll be interesting if it is.
