Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport
National Development Plan: Discussion
Gerard Craughwell (Independent) | Oireachtas source
Turning to Ms Graham, there has been a great deal of discussion in my home county of Galway, in particular along its commuter route from Craughwell - how surprising is it I mention that? - to Barna, about a light rail network. New commuter technology that is coming on line probably meets carbon emission targets and so on. The route from Craughwell, Athenry, Oranmore and on into Galway city and from there to Salthill, Knocknacarra and Barna covers the majority of where the workforce in Galway is located. Anyone who has been in Galway recently will know that the early morning and evening rush hour commutes are crazy. People in Galway are seeking a feasibility study to examine new transport technologies. Where is the NTA in terms of supporting that?
