We are going to develop Dublin as a city similar to Copenhagen, Amsterdam or Utrecht. Senator Humphreys is right that we have to think long-term. In the long term, the city will not be dominated by cars. It will be dominated by bikes, buses and a rail system. The bike capacity will reduce the number of cars on the road. We must think long-term. It is not that we will continue to provide the existing car system. It will be a completely different city and one that is much better. That is where we are going. In that context, we can start to think not about always providing for the car but providing for those alternatives.
