At a meeting on Friday I was reminded of how much work we need to do in Ireland to modernise and upgrade our existing rail network. Looking at the statistics, you can see how much work we need to do to even get to the EU average of approx. 57%.

I joined Drivetime on RTE yesterday to talk about the new delivery agency for Metro. Hurdles in delivering the project are still ahead, but for the first time it feels like we are getting into the mind space of this is happening & lets get on with it. Call me optimistic

Would free buses work in Dublin and ease traffic congestion?
New York mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani has tapped into frustration with city’s service by pledging to make it free

Nice article by Eoin Burke Kennedy in the @irishtimes.com today on free public transport

Extension of Luas line to Finglas granted permission and could be completed by 2031
The new line in Dublin is expected to cost about €600 million

Great news, Luas Finglas joins Metrolink, 12 BusConnects corridors, DART+ West & South West on the list of Dublin public transport projects with planning permission ..... now for delivery
