Mr. Hugh Creegan:

We do not have many cross-boundary issues. I accept what Deputy O'Callaghan said. I can think of a few places where cycling infrastructure was built in one area and there was catch-up in the boundary. The Grange Road is one that springs to mind straight away. Ultimately, it was a timing issue and the city council caught up with Fingal County Council in due course. It is not a major problem for us. We do not get it perfectly and even if there was a mayor's office in place, the delivery agencies would still be the sub-local authorities so we would still be dealing with the same issues. Challenge-wise it is not a problem.

As for expanding the Dublinbikes scheme and trying to make it successful in other areas, Dublin city centre is commercially very attractive, so it is more successful in and suits the city centre. It is harder to roll that out elsewhere.

On the overall question as to whether the boundaries pose a major challenge, in our experience they do not. It is not perfect and our timing is not perfect all the time, but it is still not bad.
