Is it, do I need coins?

Is it tap or whatever?

So if it is a universal system, then that may be more user-friendly and it'll be used, mostly.

If it's a universal app, is it a universal charge?

So if you're paying, are you going to pay the same in Tipperary as you pay in Dublin?

Is that fair?

When it's done widespread like that, rarely does it work out cheaper for the consumer.

It usually comes at a cost.

Now we're coming back home because a protest is being planned by some Navan residents due to an increasing amount of injuries caused, they say, by the dangerous condition of local footpaths.

A protest is planned outside the next meeting of Navan Municipal District on the 22nd of April.

Ben White's father-in-law was badly injured in a fall a few years ago.

Ben is on the line and I'm joined by Alan Laws who's an independent councillor based in Johnstown in Navan and Alan has been

campaigning on this for a number of years.

Ben, I'll start with you.

Good morning to you, first of all, and thank you for joining us in the programme.

So tell me, this is about the estate, the Priory estate, is that right?

Yeah, I saw some pictures in the Irish Independent this morning.

I mean, it really is, it really does look rough on those footpaths and people are tripping and falling and badly injuring themselves.

Take us through some of the things that have happened.

Yeah, and that's what these type of things that we were told the local property tax would do, right?
