Seanad debates

Wednesday, 15 October 2003

In my area we have the Connolly-Maynooth line, which has been upgraded. We have seen improvements, for which we are grateful, but the line is not adequate to cope with the number of people who wish to use it. For example, we have no park and ride facility, which has been referred to by others. There is only one park and ride facility beside Clonsilla railway station. No other station has such a facility. We have no park and ride facilities outside the Dublin boundary where we should have them to get people out of their cars before they reach Blanchardstown. The same can be said for the rest of the city. It is a disgrace that we have not developed park and ride facilities. If we are serious about getting people out of cars, we have to provide those facilities for them.
