Peadar Tóibín: Sometimes I feel that there are two understandings of the word "time". There is how citizens understand it in their normal lives.

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Greenways Provision (22 Sep 2022)

Peadar Tóibín: There is a different understanding of time in the context of how the administration of this country works. I passed a motion almost 14 years ago at council level for this particular project and it still has not come into being in any real way. It is amazing. The tourism potential of this project is massive. The Minister knows that cycling and walking tourism are taking off around the...

Their visits can include bed and breakfast accommodation, hotels and...

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Rail Network (22 Sep 2022)

Peadar Tóibín: I urge the Minister to make sure this project is given a concrete timeline and concrete investment. We have a system in Meath where if you stand still somebody will build a house on top of you, such is the level of development that is happening in the county.

Peadar Tóibín: I understand that it is important to have a proper BusConnects system. There is no doubt about that but the truth of the matter is that Navan is the largest town by far in the State without access to a rail line. Meath is the biggest dormitory and commuter county and Meath people are living in Meath without the facility to commute. No other county has the same level of outward working as...
