Traffic Congestion in the Greater Dublin Area and Related Matters: Discussion
9:30 am
Mr. Hugh Creegan:
The answer is "Yes". Let me go back to the earlier question on the cost of congestion. A couple of years ago, we gave the Department of Transport, Tourism and Sport some assistance in calculating or trying to monetise the cost of congestion across the Dublin region. I recall that we concluded the annual cost of congestion was from €300 million to €350 million per year but that it would rise to €2 billion by 2035 if appropriate actions were not taken. That report is probably on the website of the Department.
