- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: National Development Plan: Discussion (2 Feb 2021)
Kieran O'Donnell: I will take the issues in order. Mr. Walsh outlined various projects in his presentation. On page 30, he speaks about the N20. He will probably be aware that it is a project that is very close to my heart. I have campaigned for it for many years. I would like to see "M20/N20" rather than just "N20". There has been a period of public consultation on it. I have been critical that the...

Why were routes put out for consultation and considered under certain criteria...

Kieran O'Donnell: My final question relates to the Limerick Shannon metropolitan area transport strategy, LSMATS. It went out to public consultation in Limerick a number of months ago. I held a public Zoom meeting that many people attended and a number of issues came back. It was felt that the strategy is not ambitious enough in a number of areas. It was deemed that the area does not have the population...
