In relation to the Dublin Marathon, Dublin City Council and the marathon organisers have urged a re-examination of the event’s location due to the impact it has on transport. Will the NTA be engaging with that? For me personally, having the marathon going through the city and presenting the city in such a way is a very positive thing. I am interested in the views of the transport companies. Of course, public transport is vitally important for participants and supporters to be able to get to the event itself. If any of the witnesses has a comment, I would appreciate it.
