Seán Barrett (Dún Laoghaire, Fine Gael)

The problem with this issue is that it crosses numerous Departments, not just one. The question asked by Deputy Ó Caoláin earlier about the decision of our transport company to cut back on public transport also has an impact on the area of climate change. In one breath we lecture people and tell them to use public transport, but in the next breath we tell them we are taking buses off the road. Are we really serious about dealing with this issue?
