Committee on Transport
National Transport Authority: Engagement
2:00 am
Mr. Hugh Creegan:
Nobody ever got anywhere on a plan; you have to turn it into reality. I agree entirely with that. Equally, I would not get hung up on everything having to be costed and having an overall delivery plan for every bit of it. The key thing for us is to get started on delivering some of the stuff. The intention was to use those plans, and the council could pick off the projects it wanted to start with in a particular town. If we are the funding body for those projects - and it could be some other entity for some of them - we would recognise that those projects were a priority for the council in that town and that they were underpinned by a clear plan, and we should be in a position to fund it. I do not think we need to focus on the whole plan. Rather, we need to focus on identifying what the next projects are to deliver out of it and get started on them.
