Ceisteanna - Questions: Northern Ireland (3 May 2023)

Paul Murphy: I raise with the Taoiseach the fate of Iceland workers who now have very different conditions on this island.

It managed to come up with a car usage reduction figure of 1% by running simulated modelling based on current trends across the country, where public transport is mainly poor or non-existent.
