Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government

Urban Regeneration: Discussion (Resumed)

Mr. David O'Connor:

I will add a third point based on the discussion we just had, and that is simply to refer to the Advertising Standards Authority for Ireland and ask it to review advertising for private motor vehicles in the context of the Government declaration of a climate emergency and public health - simply that. On the points Dr. Rock made, we have seen examples of public appointments for active travel teams, which have to be multidisciplinary, that have all come from a single discipline. It does not matter what the discipline is; they have to be diverse teams and have to take account of less traditional, maybe degree, qualification and experiential backgrounds to build successful teams. It is not just I but everybody here who has pointed out that success nearly always come from that type of integration and multidisciplinary working.
