They went back to the drawing board. We had to go through a tortuous process in the city council to remove the reference to outer bypass in every part of the city development plan. The next thing that came before us was an inner ring road - nothing else. I might appear parochial but I am making a general point on sustainable transport, climate change and sustainable solutions to traffic problems. In Galway we got a road and, as a result of an outcry from people, the public transport part was added on. I was there and I followed the process. Park and ride has been in the Galway city development plan since 2005. Does it concern the TII that it has never been rolled out, east or west of the city, other than at Christmas?
