Mr. Frank Curran:

It would have to be something like the old Dublin Transportation Office, which is now part of the mayor's office. The mayor would have a staff that would effectively be running transport and traffic in the city, including for active travel, Bus Connects, taxi regulation and the delivery of the likes of a metro network. The mayor would be co-ordinating all of that and would have the budget for it. We would work as we normally work by implementing the policy on the ground.

We would get funding for active travel schemes, which we roll out continuously. We would assist regarding BusConnects, the routes, and how the system would work. The same would apply to major infrastructure. However, that would involve a major change and a major loss of NTA control, power and money, the NTA being just one organisation.
