Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action
Reduction of Carbon Emissions of 51% by 2030: Discussion (Resumed)
Mr. Pierpaolo Cazzola:
I agree with what Dr. Daly and Dr. Caulfield said. On the idea of making sure that cars are more frequently idle rather than getting rid of an idle car, I believe that providing road space for alternative choices is probably one of the priorities. Also, providing access to alternatives to car travel is a key choice. For me, that goes in the direction of ensuring that the school bus service is improved and that the access to bicycle lanes and the extent of bicycle lanes and footpaths are greater. Having other choices would help those who want to keep their car to keep the car idle more frequently.
