Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport
Public Consultation on the National Development Plan: Department of Transport
Mr. Kenneth Spratt:
To pick up on the Deputy's remarks on the importance of land use, planning and transport planning, it is the case that quite a lot of our development is road-led development. We are very keen to do as much as we can to switch away from road-led development to sustainable mobility-led development. Obviously it will be a combination of road and sustainable mobility but we link in very closely with our colleagues at the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage, citing them in our thinking and our submission with regard to the national development plan, to ensure we are aligned on it. We are trying to make as much use as possible of the approaches to transport development and land use.
