Vol. 448 No. 5
37 Mr. Haughey asked the Minister for the Environment when the Dublin Transport Initiative final report will be issued; the plans, if any, he has to enable public representatives give an input in future stages of development; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [2202/95]
I plan to formally publish the Final Report of the Dublin Transportation Initiative shortly. That report contains detailed recommendations concerning possible future institutional arrangements for transportation planning in the Greater Dublin Area, including proposals for the involvement of local elected representatives in that process. While these recommendations have yet to be considered in detail by the Government, there is a commitment in the policy agreement, A Government of Renewal to establish an implementation group to ensure that the progress begun by the Dublin Transportation Initiative is brought to fruition. When decisions have been made, I will make a further statement.
