What is the Melis Method
What is the Melis Method
Metro Dublin has been officially recognised as a Strategic Infrastructure Development (SID), a status given only to projects of national importance. This gives confidence that the project is both necessary and viable.
The Melis Method involves dividing each rail line into separate Line Sections, each of which is tendered out separately to different developers. By preventing any single developer from holding more than one Line Section per line, but allowing them to hold multiple sections across different lines, the method fosters competitiveness, encourages innovation, and ensures that project timelines are met more efficiently.

Since 2015, Metro Dublin has worked closely with An Bord Pleanála, Ireland’s national planning authority, through regular pre-application consultations. These early conversations help identify and solve issues in advance, making the planning process smoother and reducing risk for investors.
This approach not only incentivises developers to maintain high standards of performance but also mitigates potential project delays and cost overruns.
