À propos de ce contenu audio

Exploring how Irish public projects were executed in practice, focusing on implementation, lessons learned and the institutional memory often lost over time.

The title Memo to File refers to the once common practice in the Civil Service of adding a concise but comprehensive digest to project documentation, ensuring that any future civil servant reviewing the file would know the lessons learned.

The podcast is designed for listeners interested in how Irish institutions, infrastructure and public systems operate.

New episode every Thursday.

Memo to File is produced by Luke Fehily and Tom O'Connor.

    May 7 2026

    This conversation with Frank Allen, former CEO of the Railway Procurement Agency (RPA), explores the Luas light rail project in Dublin and considers what can be learned from it.

    The RPA was established in 2001 to deliver the Luas and a separate tender process was established to select the operator. In 2015, The RPA was folded into Transport Infrastructure Ireland which now oversees major road and public transport projects.

    Frank has had a wide-ranging career beyond Luas, having first started out at the World Bank and KBC Bank. He served as Chairman of Depaul, Irish Rail and now Translink in Northern Ireland. He also advises on infrastructure finance and operations globally, especially in Europe and Asia.
