Technical requirements: Transport Infrastructure Ireland (TII) wishes to procure condition surveys of private residential properties and other selected properties along the route of MetroLink, under the Scheme referred to as the Property Owners' Protection Scheme (POPS).  POPS is a voluntary scheme that allows a residential property owner to register their property with TII. The contract involves the establishment of a panel of three independent building surveying companies.  From this panel the property owner may choose which company they wish to carry out a survey of their property.
The MetroLink project is the development of a north-south urban railway service that will run between Swords and Charlemont, linking Dublin Airport, Irish Rail, DART, Dublin Bus and Luas Services, creating fully integrated public transport along the 19km route. A large portion of the route will be underground including where it passes under the city centre area and Dublin Airport. The underground section will terminate at Charlemont. There will be a total of 15 new stations, 3000 additional park and ride spaces and a journey time of approximately 25 minutes from Swords to the city centre. The MetroLink will cater for 20,000 passengers per direction per hour and carry up to 50 million passengers per annum.It is intended that the MetroLink project will commence construction in 2021 and be open to passenger services in 2027.

TII has established a panel comprising three independent surveying companies who will carry out the condition surveys. From this panel, the property owner may choose which company they wish to carry out a survey of their property.
