I'm sure that if you took all the money that Irish Rail get for closing the line, and split it evenly amongst all the weekly, monthly and annual ticket holders that there would be very little per person.What percentage of those ticket holders wold actually use the DART on a typical bank holiday weekend? I think that at some stage people have to step back and think of the greater good, we are all going to benefit from the stadium, so putting up with taking a bus instead of a DART shouldn't be much of an inconvenience.
However a case could be made that the money received due to the Lansdowne development should be ploughed back into the station upkeep etc. Get the money to benefit the areas inconvenienced.
