Dublin is the only large European capital without a metro: what would Leopold Bloom make of that? | Dermot Hodson

Dublin is the only large western European capital without a metro.

Leopold Bloom , the protagonist of James Joyce’s Ulysses , is frustrated with the city's transport system.

Dublin 's MetroLink plan has been cancelled, revived and rebranded since it was first proposed 25 years ago .

Leopold Bloom would still recognise Dublin 's transport system’s many deficiencies.

Recent studies suggest that the Irish capital is one of the most congested cities in the world.

MetroLink needs to see light at the end of the tunnel soon, says Dermot Hodson .
