Eamon Ryan (Dublin Bay South, Green Party) | Oireachtas source

We will start concluding it this year, joining up south Dublin with Dublin city centre. That is Green Party policy being delivered. It was also Green Party policy that introduced in the programme for Government the 2:1 ratio between public transport and roads in the remaining capital budget. There was nothing like that before we came into government. That is also part of what we need to.

There are so many different things we need to do and so many different moving parts, but the key now is to make the political decisions to reallocate road space to ensure the buses work faster so they come quicker. That is what the people want more than anything else. It is what the priority should be. I am upfront and honest about that. It is going to be the key political issue in the next two to three years at local government level. People Before Profit councillors are opposing traffic measures in Dún Laoghaire that would be transformative. That decision has not been made yet. Will the Deputy get his councillors to vote in favour of sustainable mobility in Dún Laoghaire as an example of what needs to be done.? That does not cost anything except a bit of political courage.
