Ms R?is?n Greaney:

I will add to that point on some of the recommendations on congestion charges and road use charges. There is a recent report by the OECD, Redesigning Ireland’s Transport for Net Zero, which has some interesting points about how congestion charges, road use charges and the carbon tax can have low transformative potential when implemented alone. Dr. Sweeney referred to the suite of policies. This should be implemented alongside more transformative policies like reallocation of road space and better accessibility. There need to be options for shared travel and active travel to be more attractive, as well as the taxes, even if they are important to the State with regard to revenue.
