Towards a National Planning Framework is an excellent document that identifies a number of elements, including the importance of the transition to a low-carbon society. It mentions a number of cities, including Galway, which could be exemplars of low-carbon living through more sustainable mobility and energy efficiency. In this context I ask the Minister to make a statement about the intolerable position in Galway, which has 96,000 vehicles at any given peak time. That is rising by 2,000 vehicles daily.
