Dublin city facing decade of disruption from construction of big – and long-awaited – transport projects

Nobody expects transport infrastructure to happen overnight but they do expect it to happen.
People want to use public transport, they want to see the delivery of infrastructure and of quality service. Stagnating projects and empty promises are not good enough.

While Government have been celebrating the €360m annual active travel budget and the opening of an office… the reality for Dubliners is 3/4 Councils have had their budgets cut
And that doesn’t account for inflation
Only the Ministers area of Fingal has had an increase 🤔
