Public Accounts Committee

National Transport Authority - Financial Statement 2011

11:50 am

Mr. Hugh Creegan:

We have a small unite of experienced planners to do a number of functions.

We invest a lot of effort in working with local authorities to try to integrate transport into land use planning at an early stage. If we do not get the integration right from day one, in so far as we can, we are playing catch up every year afterwards. A small unit is involved. We work actively with the various local authorities and the regional authorities and we do not copy the submission each time. They are individual.
