Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport
Road Traffic and Roads Bill 2021, and Disability and Transport: Discussion
Ms Léan Kennedy:
Both need to be looked at. It is not being implemented correctly based on the current standards. The DMURS is quite old now. It was developed a few years ago. Using the pedestrianisation of streets as an example we have had during the this pandemic that we have all been working through, the way that our streets are being planned and developed is changing. We need to ensure that the urban manual is updated and comes into line with how town planners are moving. Both need to happen side by side.
