Barry Ward (Dún Laoghaire, Fine Gael)

I have two issues. Shankill BusConnects has caused huge upset in a small village in south Dublin that will be substantially changed in a bad way because of plans, only to add two minutes to the route. I know it is considered a done deal by Mr. Creegan's office but it is something the NTA needs to examine with a view to changing it, taking on board some of the reasonable and constructive alternative suggestions that have been made by the community in Shankill.

The other issue relates to the Dart wall along the strand at Booterstown from the Merrion Gates as far as Dún Laoghaire Harbour. It is a 200-year-old wall. It is no longer fit for purpose. There has been overtopping by the sea at high tide or low pressure times. It is going to have to be replaced. When it is replaced, will the NTA please give consideration to putting the S2S, the Sutton to Sandycove cycleway and promenade, on top of whatever solution the NTA puts there to protect the DART line?
