Mr. Michael Nolan:

I am on the record here saying that we cannot keep building out the M50. We are sweating the asset and making it more efficient but we cannot add more lanes. I cannot see that happening in my lifetime. Three lanes in both directions on a ring road for a city of Dublin’s size should be adequate. Investment should be in public transport into urban areas. We help the NTA to execute its vision with regard to public transport in the Dublin area.
