“It is well known that transport infrastructure can have a big impact on property values. Over the last 20 years, Ireland has added lots of new infrastructure, including motorways and the DART.
"The opening of the cross-city Luas has clearly added value in the areas newly served by light rail: three-bed homes near the new Luas stations saw their values increase by 15% over the last year, compared to a 6% increase in similar homes near other rail stations. Whether the taxpayer gets some payback, however, is down to the Government.”
