Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government

Consideration of the Citizens' Assembly Report on a Directly Elected Mayor of Dublin: Discussion (Resumed)

Ms Anne Graham:

What we have said, and we have said this through the consultation associated with the delivery of our planning of BusConnects corridors and sustainable transport corridors, was that it would only really work if a much stronger level of enforcement was in place. We believe that camera-based enforcement is the right approach, not just for the bus lanes but for other traffic management measures. However, it is really down to the Department of Transport and the Oireachtas to decide on who those powers are given to with regard to managing the enforcement of that kind of legislation.
