Transport Costs
Dail Éireann — 2023-05-04
============================================================

Paul Murphy (PBP), Dublin South-West

A Greenpeace report published today has found that Dublin is the capital with the least affordable and most complicated ticketing system in all of Europe. Luxembourg, Tallinn and Valletta, where public transport is free, are rated top. Has the Minister considered the impact that including free access to car library schemes as part of free public transport would have on reducing private car ownership and use and was this taken into account in the Ernst & Young Global Limited report?
Could I politely suggest that the Green Party Minister might pay more attention to what Greenpeace has to say rather than paying corporate accountancy firms to undermine the importance of free public transport?
