Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport
Sustainable Travel Operations Update: National Transport Authority
1:30 pm
Ms Anne Graham:
We will not comment on the split in the spend. All we can comment on is that we need surety of commitment to financing the sustainable transport aspect of the national development plan, because as we are building and planning for those systems - especially for such large infrastructure as MetroLink - we need to see commitment to those projects continue through national development plans to ensure, for the construction and design communities, the people who will build these systems, that the Government remains committed to investment in the infrastructure. That builds confidence for delivery in the industry and allows - as the Deputy will be aware, we have multiple projects of different sizes - the construction industry to have a supply of a range of projects, including smaller active travel projects up to the largest projects, such as MetroLink.
