Mr. Ciarán Ferrie:

I do not think it would be the cycling officer. By transport czar I mean someone with an overview and authority. Perhaps it needs to come from the Department of Transport, Tourism and Sport. I do not know. There needs to be leadership that brings these competing groups together. We cannot have a situation where the National Transport Authority, which is doing great work with BusConnects, is on a different track even within its own organisation. It prepared the greater Dublin area cycle network plan and then it prepared BusConnects, and there are complete discrepancies between the two. One does not follow the other. There is a lack of joined-up thinking generally throughout the delivery of this infrastructure, which needs to be resolved.
