Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government

Review of National Planning Framework and Climate Targets: Discussion

Mr. Gavin Lawlor:

Cycling and pedestrian infrastructure can be the priority. It depends on the administrative area. Lots of local authorities have huge rural costs associated with road maintenance. It is not simply about the urban aspect. It has to be evidence based if you are going to approach that. One size does not fit all, unfortunately, in that regard.
