"However, after several years away from home, the sacrifice of being separated from my partner, children, and grandchildren, who are over 10,000 miles away, has become unsustainable. It is with deep regret that I leave MetroLink, however, I know it is the right thing to do for everyone."
"It is with a mix of gratitude and regret that I confirm the departure this summer of Seán Sweeney as Programme Director of MetroLink."
"Metrolink has been talked about for decades but has made significant progress in recent years. The 19km rail line will stretch from Swords to Charlemont, including stops at Dublin Airport and O'Connell Street."
Mr. Sweeney has announced his departure from the MetroLink project in Ireland, citing the unsustainable nature of being away from his family in New Zealand. He took on the role in 2024, aiming to transform Dublin's public transport system. Despite the challenges, he regarded his work on MetroLink as a significant professional privilege. The project, which has been in discussion for decades, is expected to cost over €10 billion and aims to be operational by the mid-2030s.
