Hi FlyingV
Maybe this is the source of the confusion "
The two story basement has, naturally enough, always been there. Collier says that it was originally designed to be a concourse area for a rail or Metro link from Dublin city."
The Collier here being Declan Collier, Chief Exec of the DAA. The interview is at the bottom of the page.
