Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government
Review of National Planning Framework and Climate Targets: Discussion
Ms Anne Graham:
What is planned for this year was planned in conjunction with us, because we approve it. It is the NTA that invests in the services in terms of making funding available. It is planned with us. We review the timetable. We look to see what we can do with existing resources, and the fleet resources that we have to make the most effective use of those. That is not to say that is the ideal solution. It does not meet all of our objectives. It certainly does not meet all of the objectives in the transport strategy. It is about what we can deliver this year with the resources we have. There will obviously be an additional fleet available next year. Again, we can build on that. If the Senator and his constituents have other demands they want to see in there, they should start putting them forward through the consultation.
