Steven Matthews (Wicklow, Green Party) | Oireachtas source

In my remaining time, I will make the comment that I think there need to be much closer working ties between the Department of Transport and the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage. I do not think transport and planning can be done separately even though we have done that for many years. That approach has failed. We have an opportunity now. I have never seen so much enthusiasm across the Oireachtas for investment in railways as I have seen in the past two years. I hope that continues.
