Ceisteanna - Questions - Priority Questions: Dublin City Centre Transport Study (23 Sep 2015)

Timmy Dooley: I take the Minister's point. We all accept the principle of the modal shift away from the car towards public transport for appropriate journeys.

Ceisteanna - Questions - Priority Questions: Rail Network (23 Sep 2015)
