Dublin Transport Authority Bill 2008: Report and Final Stages
11:00 am
Paschal Donohoe (Fine Gael)
I welcome the change the Minister of State has made through this amendment. I will not move amendment No. 5 in recognition of that change. An important theme in our contributions on Committee Stage concerned the need for a joined-up and coherent approach to facilitating cycling within the greater Dublin area. The example we cited was of cycle lanes not being linked up. While it may seem like a negligible matter, cycle lanes that suddenly disappear can discourage people from using bikes instead of cars.
