Ms Mary Rose Burke:

On the matter of the ten-year wait before we have some of the key infrastructure that we hope will progress and come online in 2026 and 2027, there are some short-term solutions that will have to be put in place just to manage in the interim. I mentioned some earlier, such as making the city walkable and cycleable, and making sure that we use the current network to its full capacity. Buses have to be a very large part of that solution. Equally, we need to look at things like enhanced broadband and flexibility for people to work from home. All of this will continue while the population of Dublin is growing. There are many moving parts with no simple solution. It is going to be a multifaceted approach, but there is also a difference between interim solutions when it is known that key infrastructure is coming online and a solution that does not have an end if we do not progress with the planning of key elements that we spoke about earlier.

I ask Mr. McGibney to address data provision and analytics.
