Ms Anne Graham:

We have a park-and-ride strategy for the greater Dublin area. We are beginning to make plans for the delivery of park-and-ride sites. We are focusing first of all on the N11-M11 route. We have some sites identified that we would hope to move forward with planning applications. We have no site identified along the M7-N7 yet. The Red Cow roundabout is along the N7. There is a facility to park near the roundabout and use the Luas red line service to travel into Dublin. Supporting park-and-ride facilities is a key part of the delivery of transport services, but we need to be able to assure customers that the journey time from the park-and-ride facility to their destinations in the city centre is reasonable compared with that of completing the journey in a car. At the moment, we cannot guarantee that.
