-----to ensure we can get to a position where there is better integrated public transport, more options and people using them. We discussed the carbon tax earlier today. We will examine it with a different Department. It has been signalled that it will increase for the next ten years. If it does, that imposes more costs on people. People must know that alternatives will be available to them, not just in Dublin where there is relatively good public transport but also in areas such as my city of Waterford. Galway has traffic management problems and public transport issues. Limerick and Cork also need the same alternatives.
