It is funny because I am from Waterford. BlaBlaCar is an international car pooling mechanism that is used throughout Europe. My children use it all the time when abroad. It is such an efficient system. Are the officials aware of it? Is there any opportunity for us to encourage a company such as BlaBlaCar to operate in Ireland in an effort to be more efficient in car usage? It is a brilliant mechanism in the context of affordability. If people are operating on very tight budgets, they could go online and link up with one or two others and car pool. It is a really good mechanism.
