Air Quality
Dail Éireann — 2023-09-28
============================================================

Ossian Smyth (GP), Dún Laoghaire

I refer the Deputy to the report of the urban transport related air pollution working group to see what its analysis of transport-related emissions are. There is a particular problem around schools to do with idling and the fact there are young children with growing brains hanging around outside schools while a lot of vehicles pollute those areas. I will be meeting with the EPA shortly and will raise the Deputy's concerns around air quality from traffic, its monitoring in urban areas, and what can be done about it.
