So the intention behind those park and ride sites, and we should see them coming right across the M50 network, is to link up communities.

So that 199 would then bring you to the next location and then you can maybe access, because I don't have the details exactly with regards to the spaces in the Fassaro site, but the idea that they're being built, that infrastructure is actually being developed, but that we don't see the state supporting the bus route in and of itself is the issue.

It would.

And when I was...

Preparing for this today, I went looking at a National Roads Authority feasibility study for a Leinster orbital route that was published back in 2009, which essentially would be that.

It starts in Drogheda, it brings you to Nacer, Newbridge via Slane, Navan.

That would work, but I think...

when we look at the pace of delivery for significant capital infrastructure projects in this country, that wouldn't work for a generation of people working in the city centre or trying to commute in the next 10 to 15 years.

If we have government, you know, developing policy as per government terms only, it's very short term.

I think what transport needs is a slaunter care approach, a vision that would last and have a legacy longer than.

But the policy keeps us focused.

Whatever the implementation, at least we have a common consensus of what it requires because the evidence is there.

It's not working right now.

As long as we're building unaffordable housing in Dublin city centre, what you're going to do is bring people even more and more out to these commuter belt areas, but then they cannot access in any sort of efficient or affordable way, meaningful employment.
