Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport

National Roads, Light Rail and Metro: Discussion

2:00 am

Mr. Hugh Creegan:

Yes, but we are not doing the strategy justice because the ring road is so fundamental. If the ring road was refused, we would end up with a different strategy, and if the ring road was modified, we would end up with a different strategy. For us, it makes most sense that the decision is made by An Coimisiún Pleanála. We are not saying we are waiting until judicial reviews arise, are heard or are concluded. We are just saying that when An Coimisiún Pleanála has made its decision, that will give us its viewpoint, which we can then use as a kick-off point to update the transport strategy.

I will repeat it. It has become very efficient at reaching its decisions and I would be hopeful it will not be a long wait for their decision on the ring road.
