Dr. Brian Caulfield:

I thank the Chair for the question. There are extensive plans to increase the volume of public transport not only in the greater Dublin area but also around the rest of the country. When that investment has been put in place and there is the capacity in the public transport network then of course we will have to look at demand management measures and road pricing. We will also have to look at the level of parking we provide in cities. The two will have to go hand in hand and it is the traditional approach of carrot and stick. We just need to line up more carrots before we start to take out the stick.
