The €2.5bn Metro North project has been changed. Under original plans drawn up for North city expansion of Dublin's Luas tram service, the Arch would have been dismantled for up to 3 years. Dozens of mature trees were to be felled & removed with a quarter of Stephens Green park turned into a construction site for the duration.
Stephen's Green park was given to the people of Dublin in 1880 by Sir Arthur Edward Guinness (Lord Ardilaun.)
