David Cullinane: ...in Dublin city. However, public transport outside Dublin is equally important. The national planning framework in the national development plan envisages regional cities. Galway, Limerick, Cork and Waterford are four regional cities.

David Cullinane: ...not just in Dublin where there is relatively good public transport but also in areas such as my city of Waterford. Galway has traffic management problems and public transport issues. Limerick and Cork also need the same alternatives.

David Cullinane: Cork is the only one?

David Cullinane: ...-state investment mean from the NTA's perspective? What does it mean in the national development plan, and what does it mean specifically for those cities?
