Joint Oireachtas Committee on Rural and Community Development: Rural Transport Policy: National Transport Authority (28 Mar 2018)

Éamon Ó Cuív: We are all under time pressure because some of us are on two committees that are meeting one after the other. I welcome the witnesses. Ms Graham said the remit of the authority is to regulate – we understand that – and develop. What precise role does the authority have in development outside the greater Dublin area? Has the NTA sought to amend the legislation to give it the...

Éamon Ó Cuív: The measure of spending per passenger journey is totally inequitable. It would be much better to start on the basis that there are a half a million people in Connacht and a million people in Dublin. Is the subsidy for public transport in Connacht half of that in Dublin? It is not. It is about a tenth. Of course the NTA is always going to win by measuring per passenger journey, because...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Rural and Community Development: Rural Transport Policy: National Transport Authority (28 Mar 2018)

Éamon Ó Cuív: It is still the case that 1.1 million people get €60 million for Dublin Bus. When rural transport and Bus Éireann are included, the figure is about €53 million for 3 million people. As such, €3 is spent on a Dublin person for every €1 spent on a rural person. That just includes buses, never mind trains.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Rural and Community Development: Rural Transport Policy: National Transport Authority (28 Mar 2018)

Vote 33 - Culture, Heritage and the Gaeltacht (Revised) (28 Mar 2018)

Éamon Ó Cuív: The only thing is that time is marching on. In my view, the biggest event of that period was the democratic decision by the Irish people for independence, which was not something that Britain decided but that we decided for ourselves. This is the election of 1918 which led to the foundation of the first Dáil on 21 January 1919. It would be right that the Dáil or the Oireachtas as...
