We get the idea behind this report: we are looking for best practice in the future. As has been outlined, we know there are major difficulties with how we deal with all the variables and constants in urban transport. It is not only about reducing emissions: it is also about the other factors such as safety and impacting on those who are involved in active travel. Like any issue, it is easy to sort if we deal with it in a silo, but this is not quite the case.

I think of issues we have such as the R173 road in the Bellurgan area. The problem is from a safety point of view on the strait on the Cooley Peninsula with the school. If one continues on that particular road there is Greenore Port and a significant amount of transport travelling over and back. That is a regional road. I am not entirely sure how we put the whole infrastructure together from the point of view of us getting the best bang for our buck or best practice across the board in that regard. I will look for a response on that and I have another couple of questions regarding tolls.
