John Gormley (Dublin South East, Green Party)

Emission reductions in most sectors take time to achieve and transport is a case in point. In the past, an over-emphasis was placed on road transport by Governments and the public, and the result is evident in our spiralling transport emissions. However, the Government is shifting the emphasis towards public transport and is supporting and incentivising the behavioural change that will deliver a more sustainable transport future for all of us.
