Ms Graham has referred to available bus services, but to travel from Ongar to the city centre takes one hour and 20 minutes at peak time. It is not acceptable for people to be shoved out to areas and told there is a bus service. Anywhere beyond a certain mileage, the NTA should consider light rail. The industrial parks do not have proper bus services, people are driving in from all over and the roads are clogged up. Will the NTA remain open to the idea of a light rail system for Blanchardstown rather than citing the rail line to Maynooth? People cannot get to it.
