Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport

BusConnects Bus Corridors Project: Discussion

1:30 pm

Ms Anne Graham:

We might go back to Deputy Rock's questions. A number of Deputies have asked why there was a staggered consultation. The reason is we are undertaking quite a significant consultation on all 16 corridors. We want to be in a position as an organisation to respond and be available for individual property owners. That is the reason we staggered it and started with four corridors. If we are talking about the potential number of property owners that could be impacted - up to 1,500 - we want to be in a position to organise one-to-one meetings as we have indicated. That is the reason for the staggered consultation.

A number of Deputies asked why we were doing the corridor consultation without having completed the network consultation. The corridors being proposed are needed. The improvements in those corridors are needed no matter what network is being operated. They are the 16 main corridors-----
