Dr. Damien Ó Tuama:

We meet infrequently with most of the State agencies and the Department of Transport, Tourism and Sport. The real problem, however, is a lack of leadership at the highest level in transportation, namely, at ministerial level. Each of the political parties needs to be pushing cycling to the core of national and local policy, but the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport, Deputy Ross, has special responsibility to show leadership.
