In my home town of Dungarvan - it just so happens that the lightening-rod issues are where I live - €7 million is being invested in smarter travel over five years. It is working really well. As petrol gets more expensive, people have taken to the entire programme. One issue has arisen, although it is not a huge issue. Of that €7 million, approximately €1 million is allocated to marketing. Some people have asked whether we need to spend that much on the indoctrination of people into the system. There is a view that we do not and that the town council would probably do that. So much administration is not required. We would be better off spending a percentage of that money on the infrastructure to be provided.

While that is a view, generally, there is nothing but positive vibes from this.
