That’s the 2nd Fianna Fáil TD that has had to step down from the Chairperson position of an Oireachtas committee this year for reckless decision making behind the wheel of a vehicle

€8,500 worth of grants & trade-ins available for electric cars… and still no sign of a bike scheme for people in non-typical employment or to trade a car in for a cargo-bike
Show us your budget, and we’ll show you your priorities 🙄

The recent College Green consultation report has come in and it had 81% public support which is great to see for the preliminary design stage
Next Steps:
Detail Design is refining the project and a full planning application will go to an Coimisiún Pleanála during the Summer

Massive delays on the DART due to a crash at Serpentine Ave.
There was a plan to remove these level crossings and to build a network that doesn't just break due to external actors.
The government never funded. Think about that as you stand in a roasting carraige going nowhere.

Diesel has been leaking in to the Liffey from Irish Rail’s depot’s for FIFTEEN MONTHS and it still hasn’t been resolved
Absolutely outrageous that this is allowed to persist into our waterways from our public transport operators

Dublin Bikes was setup as an advertising contract & JCDecaux own all the infrastructure
When the contract ends, everything gets removed (it’s old anyway & unlikely to be compatible with new offerings)
DCC intend to own the next scheme themselves

FF Finance Minister meets FF Transport Minister to discuss delivery of Dart South West, a project neither of them have funded as the respective Government Ministers’ 🙄
*Spoilers*
It’s not “on track” because there’s no money for the tracks!!

“If all of that money was put into light rail, you could have maybe six Luas lines in Dublin for the same price.”
This is the same Michael McDowell who was famously one of the main objectors to the Luas; saying it was an ‘expensive toy train set’ 🙄

This is obviously worst case scenario planning… but it’s really exposing just how bad Dublin gets hit by volatile fossil fuel prices
Government didn’t fund BusConnects expansions in 2026 & haven’t funded 3 of the Dublin Luas projects… 🤷🤷♀️

JR’s have been cleared for Finglas Luas, there are lots of questions remaining since the lands now won’t be purchased for the project
Also, Government still haven’t funded construction until at least 2029 so it won’t be happening anytime soon

Mostly it’s because consecutive Governments haven’t prioritised, nor funded public Transport properly
It’s 20 years since the Green & Red line Luas launched… there’s a million more cars on Irish roads in that time
They’re still underfunding it as well

Another Airport bus gets withdrawn from service because of corporate profit margins
Meanwhile, the M50 is still at capacity and Government are removing the airport cap
The bus operator has said the "significant" financial losses that the services are incurring was the reason for it taking the decision

Government must prioritise sustainable transport in any emergency relief funding
The solution to the rising cost of oil will never be tax reduction. It’s better cycling infrastructure, more frequent & reliable public transport and Work from Home measures
