Dublin integrated study and transport

Summary

Dukes asked about sector representatives’ input and the emerging Dublin study; the Taoiseach said its brief was too preliminary for firm details but transport would be a priority.

Will the Taoiseach not agree that the representative bodies of all the major economic sectors are already well aware of what is involved here and are, indeed, working with their own membership on it? Would the Taoiseach not find it useful to have working in conjunction with the committee to which he referred experts or representatives from those groups who could assist in co-ordination and in getting the Government's message, such as it may be, down to the grass roots of the economic sectors? Since the matter has been brought up in the House, I should like to ask the Taoiseach if it is true that the brief that is being written for the consultants preparing the study for the integrated programme for Dublin makes no reference at all to transport? If that is the case, why is it that it does not make any reference to it?

Comment on this

No, the drafting of that brief is at too preliminary a stage to give the Deputy any hard information on it but I am fully aware of the fact that any integrated study for Dublin would, of course, have to award a very important priority to transport arrangements.
