Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport
Transport Strategy for the Greater Dublin Region: Discussion
Mr. Feljin Jose:
The Deputy is correct that sometimes, a silent majority want the changes but do not speak out because most people will not speak out about issues they approve of, which is kind of why we were set up during the MetroLink and BusConnects consultations. We believed a lot of people wanted the projects to be built as soon as possible. There were many valid concerns that needed to be fixed and most of them have been addressed, but a silent majority wanted the projects to be built as soon as possible and there was no voice for them to express that. That is kind of why we formed. The more community advocacy groups there are and the more that people engage in local communities throughout Dublin in regard to how to deliver these projects, the better off we will be.
