Committee on Transport

National Transport Authority: Engagement

2:00 am

Mr. Hugh Creegan:

Dublin City Council had a lot of engagement on disability parking spaces. I do not know the details but it is very conscious of that. I would be surprised if it has not come up with a good solution. I do not know about Farranfore train station. Irish Rail would need to tackle that if there is inappropriate parking. As was discussed earlier, the catering service needs funding. On the M50, the hard shoulder would not be appropriate for a bus lane for a number of reasons. It does not have the width and you cannot widen that road any further. We said that in the next transport strategy for Dublin, we would look at an orbital Luas, which I think is what the Deputy is referring to, around the M50. It was not justified at the moment but we said we would keep it under review, so we will look at it in a couple of years.
