	Dublin Port Tunnel - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The twin tunnels form a two-lane dual carriageway connecting Dublin Port, which lies to the east of central Dublin, and the M1 motorway close to Dublin Airport.
		The tunnel was first suggested in the 1990s after a number of transportation and engineering studies and was included in the 1997 Dublin city development plan.
		Dublin City Council’s policy is to introduce a ban on trucks in the city centre between 7am and 7pm, but it has agreed to delay this ban for a period of two years.

		The Dublin Port Tunnel runs from M1/M50 Coolock Lane Interchange and is being constructed as a bored tunnel in two directions from Collins Avenue, Whitehall.
		The 11.8m-diameter Herrenknecht TBM (nicknamed Gráinne) that is tunnelling from Whitehall to Fairview was delivered to the shaft in 103 parts and assembled at the launch pit in May 2002.

	portland imc - 2006.10.03 - The Dublin Port Tunnel Scam
		Bremore Port is a deep water facility (unlike Dublin port), and is entirely suitable for development as a 21st century port.
		The purpose of the Dublin Port Tunnel from its inception, was to increase the value of the lands where Dublin port is situated, so as to maximise the potential benefit to private developers.
		Dublin City authorities decided to implement the Dublin Port Tunnel, knowing full well that Dublin port was unviable, and knowing that a proposal to relocate it would certainly resurface in the future, thus removing any justification for such a grotesquely expensive scheme.

	4 - THE DUBLIN PORT ROAD TUNNEL
		Since the same tunnelling technique, the New Austrian Tunnelling Method, was being used at Heathrow as was being proposed for Dublin, concern naturally grew within the communities sited close to the route of the Port Tunnel of the risk of a similar incident.
		Furthermore, tunnel construction may be commencing at the same time that work is due to take place to replace and extend the railway's bridge decks over East Wall Road and the Tolka River immediately south west of the tunnel working area, complicating construction logistics.
		Tunnel construction work beneath the DART will involve the prior construction of a supporting arch of pipes closely beneath the existing railway tracks, installation of which will take several months, placing this section of the works on the critical path of the project's overall programme.

		Dublin Port Tunnel Construction, 2004 The Dublin Port Tunnel (''Tollán Calafoirt Bhaile Átha Cliath'' in Irish) is a landlocked road traffic tunnel in Dublin, Ireland (still under Construction as of 2004).
		The Tunnel is primarily meant to be used by heavy goods vehicles (HGV) and is thus intended to relieve surface road congestion.
		Proponents of the current Tunnel argue that it was the best deal that could have been got and that it was anticipated to be able to accommodate most heavy vehicles, with only a minor percentage of trucks still having to use the surface road network.

	Dublin - The real meaning from Timesharetalk wikipedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		From the 14th to late 16th centuries, Dublin and the surrounding area - known as the Pale - was the largest area of Ireland under government control.
		Dublin, like the rest of Ireland, is relatively safe from common natural disasters (tornadoes, hurricanes, earthquakes, tidal waves/tsunamis etc).
		Similarly, some of Dublin's working-class suburbs such as Tallaght, Kimmage, Ballinteer, Dolphin's Barn, Crumlin, Inchicore, Ringsend, Clondalkin and Ballyfermot, are in fact located south of the river and seven wealthy suburbs, Clontarf, Glasnevin, Howth, Malahide, Portmarnock, Sutton and Castleknock are found on the Northside.

		The opening of the Dublin Port Tunnel (DPT) in Spring 2006 is already beginning to have an impact on industrial property values on the northside of Dublin.
		This increased level of activity in and around the tunnel entrance is likely to accelerate over the next twelve months and the benefits the tunnel will bring to the area will shift the focus of Dublin's industrial market from the west to the north of the city in the medium to long-term.
		Despite the higher than expected costs of providing the Tunnel and the ongoing political debate on increasing its height for super-cube trucks, the opening of the Dublin Port Tunnel in 2006 will exacerbate demand amongst owner occupiers and developers for industrial land and buildings across the north side of Dublin.
