Noel Ahern (Dublin North West, Fianna Fail)

This amendment proposes some additional text to section 12(5)(f). On Committee Stage the Minister, Deputy Noel Dempsey, agreed to revert with a preferred wording to incorporate the spirit of the amendment tabled by Senator Paschal Donohoe. This was to include a specific mention of transport and travel trends within the greater Dublin area to which the authority shall have regard when preparing its transport strategy. I suggest this amendment achieves its purpose and I hope Senators will accept this.
