Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport

Transport Strategy for the Greater Dublin Region: Discussion

Mr. Ray Coyne:

The integrated piece will take legislation change, for sure. That could take anywhere between three to five years but then to get the entire system fully operational on everything, including attracting operators and the innovation, we could be looking at a decade until it is all settled down. Again, that is the aspiration of the city. Finland would be an example people use but the Government there, to be fair, puts an awful lot of investment into it. The Finnish Government was looking for its new Nokia. It was trying to do this and then sell that to other cities. I think we are on the road to that now but a full integration will need a Government decision on how far it wants to go. The ultimate aspiration is that these cities then sell the knowledge to implement that to other cities. That is how they fund it ultimately.
