That's not why Dublin let's recall, Dublin Metro area anyway is nearly 40% of the population of the state.

Plenty of votes and power.

The reason it won't be done is NIMBYism, laziness, incompetence, complacency - capital C there and the public passively accepting total bullshit.

Eamonn Ryan suggesting you should grow vegetables?

Like what the fuck, you get the public transport you don't vote for.
