Meath County Council is working off significant different projections from the NTA. Ms Graham has not mentioned population disruption. The policy articulation of the Government is to disrupt the population trends that marked the past 20 years. Transport is one of biggest tools in achieving that goal. If we do not provide services in places where there is not a direct demand now - we would be providing them to create that demand for the future - how shall we achieve the disruption to which I refer in terms of the over-concentration of population in Dublin?
