Transport Sectoral Emissions Ceiling: Minister for Transport
Alan Dillon (Mayo, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source
Sorry, but there is still an over-reliance on private cars in rural areas in relation to the target of reducing reliance on the car by 20%. Unless we roll out adequate public transport provision in rural areas, that reliance will continue. Achieving a 50% reduction in fossil fuel usage in transport is also a significant goal. What incentives are being considered to accelerate the transition to a more sustainable fuel source?
