Road Traffic and Roads Bill 2021: Report and Final Stages
Dail Éireann — 2022-09-21
============================================================

Richard O'Donoghue (IND), Limerick County

I believe the Minister said he would welcome this amendment being withdrawn. It is probably the first time I have agreed with him in a long time, but I agree with him there. The amendment states: "...for the purpose of providing public transport or active (walking or cycling) transport infrastructure only where the scheme or proposed road development will not contribute to carbon emissions for the transport sector..." Later, it continues, “induced demand through the provision of road capacity for private vehicle use or induced demand through the provision...” Again, if we look at the likes of the Adare bypass, that would be used for this type of project.
