Traffic Congestion in the Greater Dublin Area and Related Matters: Discussion

9:30 am

Mr. Hugh Creegan:

I do not think that Dublin's congestion is being addressed exclusively by widening the roads. Under the national development plan, there will be massive investment in public transport. The three big projects are MetroLink, DART expansion and the BusConnects project. We see those three as being the main components to address congestion in the Dublin area. Nevertheless, there are needs in the area of roads that cannot be ignored, and both parts need to be advanced. The bulk of the effort in tackling congestion falls on the shoulders of public transport.
