Bus Services in Counties Dublin, Kildare, Meath and Wicklow: Discussion
Gerry Horkan (Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source
With regard to Dublin Bus's requests from the committee, it is more bus lanes, including dedicated and all-day bus lanes if we could call them that, and then from the NTA more funding to resource all of this. It will not work without buses. I would make the plea that Dublin Bus and Go-Ahead, or whoever, would look at more capacity to the airport, whether it is funded bus services or otherwise. It is crucial, as numbers are where they are. It is really important for modal shift and that we do not have everybody driving to the airport. The capacity is struggling, and it is something that we saw in our interactions with Dublin Airport last week, where it was certainly talked about.
I thank the witnesses for all they do. Ms Graham might come back to me on the Leeson Street point but if there is anything else she wants to say to us or ask from us, please do.
