Potential for €10 congestion charge, parking increases of 400% and a 20kmh reduction in speed limits

Not everyone wants to/can cycle?

Another Ableist statement, why do cyclists always assume that all our transport issues can be solved with a bicycle?

Apart from the fact that Dublin doesn't have a network of safe, fast cycle lanes...this isn't the Netherlands!

Plus the fact that bicycle theft is rampant and carries little or no interest from the Gardai or punishment for bicycle theft..

The Greens have no love for or interest in the environment as if they did they would implement ideas that are relatively cheap or don't involve trying to lower the living standards of the ordinary population, such as reforestation and recycling, bike lanes that are of the Dutch standard instead of the 'done for show' dangerous and in a lot of cases completely useless bike lanes we currently have. Transportation is a disgrace here and Eamon needs to get it into his thick skull that roads are the only means of connection between our dispersed towns and villages and are vital for ambulances, goods transportation and for fast efficient bus services.

Eamon and the Greens are the environment party for the neo liberals and globalists, Eamon will never say anything or have criticism for large military pollution and large oil/gas/energy pollution, not a peep out of Eamon when it comes to pollution and the future consequences for the environment regarding the huge populations in India, Pakistan, Nigeria, Indonesia ( I don't include PR China as they did something about their population, may not be popular but they still did it). Eamon doesn't recognise that Europe has stabilised it's population and that that can only be a good thing for the environment, No, Eamon thinks we should let all the 'climate refugees' in.

If you like the environment don't vote for these charlatans.

I don't believe there is a definition but it something we could all probably look at without much hardship. Write a list before going to the shops instead of forgetting something and having to make the same journey again as one example.

The Minister stated that if public transport was free that any increased use of public transport as a result would be a corresponding reduction in walking or cycling. This is based on research that he has. I think its bizarre that 1) the green party manifesto was in favour of free transport but 2) that the Minister's research does not suggest that some people would ditch their car in favour of free public transport at a time when fuel costs are at an elevated level.

I live a 23 minute walk from the supermarket. The first 10 minutes of that journey is to a main road which is serviced by a bus that passes the supermarket. Now if we had the Vienna situation, where I had a cheap annual pass (€365) in my wallet, I'd be far more likely to walk some of the way to the supermarket and take the bus the rest of the way. Granted the current cost of that return journey is only €2 however I don't have the motivation of getting value out of my sunk cost (the annual pass). Instead I have the other sunk cost outside the front door so I'll take the car to the supermarket and I'll be there in 6 minutes.

Is the governments only answer, taxes? Maybe they could come up with a solution first.

This is true, there's too much Stick from this government and not enough carrot...

Actually I think there was quite a credible idea but it looks to have been abandoned.

The programme for government was all about a widespread move to remote working and hubs to reduce c02.

They've bottled it on any meaningful right to work from home, we have the right to ask...

Even the public service is only 20% remote working.

And they've handed at least 100million over to fund private remote working hubs, these can cost of to 600euro per month and nobody seems to be using them. Even the offer of free vouchers doesn't seem to have much take up. I guess to save face they'll end up being used by public and semi-state groups, I can't see the average worker ever going for it.

So in place it looks like they'll be hitting all those who can't work from home with these commuting taxes.

What you say is true. However when we introduced the smoking ban in 2004 we were followed by almost every other country in the world. There's nothing to say that us reducing emissions won't result in a spread of the idea globally

Are you certain that using a car is essential for the majority of the population?
