The more cars there are on the road, the worse the traffic is going to get. We need to be better at moving people, not cars. That means investing in public transport, and making it safe to walk and cycle. Make the alternatives to driving better, and it will make our city better.

The Minister for Road Safety is actively undoing work started by the previous government to make our roads safer. That's an indictment of him, and of the Taoiseach who appointed him.

Deeply disappointing that this Government has dropped game-changing rail projects for the Midlands, South-East and Mid-West.
These new and reopened rail lines would have given thousands of workers a realistic, affordable commuting option.

They've done it again, they've cut more rail projects. The most criminal one for me is cancelling the reopening of the Waterford-Wexford/Rosslare line. On the left is the All-island Rail Review published by the last government and on the right is the plan published today.

The only way to solve traffic congestion is to make active and public transport better, so people have a real alternative to driving. The Suir Road junction upgrade is a step in the right direction.

This is good news for several reasons.
First, for pedestrians - there is no safe access right now from Dolphin Road to Davitt Road. No crossing for kids going to GAA training at Good Counsel. No crossing for people going to catch the Luas.

In Drimnagh, the council is rolling on with plans to remake the Suir Road junction. The plan is to start construction next summer on work to make the junction safer for pedestrians and cyclists, and less congested for buses, Luases, and private-vehicle drivers.

It's great that we're building so many homes at Kylemore and Cherry Orchard. They are badly needed.
But if we don't build the public transport to go with them, we condemn the people living there, and all the existing residents, to a lifetime of sitting in traffic.

Traffic in Dublin has gotten crazy the past few weeks. But the new government is taking money away from public transport projects that could deal with it.
We could have had a new DART station and improved lines at Heuston and Kylemore Road in Ballyfermot. But no. Roads instead.

In a week where we're told the M50 cannot take any more traffic, why are they stopping a project that would take traffic off the roads?
