Eamon Ryan (GP), Dublin Bay South

It is a real challenge to meet our climate targets. One of the approaches we will take to do so will involve setting up leadership teams or acceleration task forces within key Departments, bringing together agencies, other Departments and outside experts. The first meeting of one such team, which will focus on sustainable mobility, will be tomorrow.. Critically, we will be seeking to determine what we can do in the next three years, or the remaining two years and nine or ten months of this Government's lifetime, to accelerate the delivery of active-travel infrastructure and examine the allocation of road space to achieve a modal shift, reduce emissions and improve journey times for everyone. I hope to keep everyone informed of that work. We discussed it at the national climate dialogue in Dublin Castle last month and agreed we would come back in the summer to monitor and measure progress.
