Road Traffic and Roads Bill 2021: Second Stage (Resumed) (11 Nov 2021)

Catherine Murphy: Before we get into the substance of the Bill, I have to say that were I to come along and present this legislation,l I would be laughed out of the Bills Office because to be honest, it is very difficult to know what the scope of the Bill is as something like 14 different items are listed. It is not that there is not merit in most of them, it is that most are not connected to one another. It...

What is the specification for the buses that were purchased? What fuel do they use? Some €65 million was spent on them. Are they diesel, hybrid or electric? What is their lifespan? If the witnesses have not got that...

Catherine Murphy: I am happy to take it in writing if all the questions I asked are covered in the response. On MetroLink, the various processes and decarbonisation were talked about. There is a new imperative in the climate budgets and transport plays a very big part in that. MetroLink is the biggest public transport project within the timeframe of those budgets. None of us are looking for inefficient...

Catherine Murphy: The timeline becomes all the more important when we hear that because the level of ambition is a real concern. I will move on to a number of other questions. Mr. Spratt said earlier to Deputy Dillon that the biggest contribution to the motor tax fund is likely to come from the east coast because of the sheer numbers of people who live there. He is saying the four Dublin local authorities...

A formal procurement process for the new Coast Guard aviation service was due to commence in...
