    I know people were not happy with eamon Ryan’s input into metrolink etc, however he was looking to get more metro for more parts of the city.
    If the money can be got, I can’t argue against this.
    Fact is I don’t trust fffg to deliver any promises they make, not just on pt, but everything else.
    The rest of the parties, maybe with the exception of the social democrats, have no interest in solving the traffic chaos, they just want to promise houses for everyone.


    Same for me, Greens are very flawed here but everyone seems to forget that it was Leo Varadkar who killed Metro North and DART Underground in middle of 2013 when we were actually starting to get a bit of money. Can't see them actually spending €3bn+ (realistically way more) on Metro for example. And FG will probably be better than FF who just want roads.



    I do believe that Greens actually really care, Google "Eamon Ryan Transport Committee" to see that he actually knows what he's talking about. Now the MetroLink stuff was an absolute disgrace and pure parish pump, but as I see it he cares but also wants to keep his seat whereas FG/FF care only about their seat and say "I want better PT" while saying "BusConnects must go". Sad state of affairs but there it is

    I will be voting green, not because I actually like any of them or even really support them, but want to put maximum pressure on whoever gets into government in terms of energy, infrastructure and spacial planning.

    In fairness Metrolink is superior to MN, we are better off with it. The biggest risk to Metrolink is a FF being the main party in the next government. They will likely want it reassessed which will delay things at best, send it back to the drawing board at worst. Metrolink and BusConnects are FG projects, all bets are off if they aren't in the next government.

    Bar being petty because it's an FG project is there any reason FF would want to disrupt Metrolink. I always thought they were pro infrastructure.

    When the money spent goes into the hands of their supporters, they are.

    So long as the spending doesn’t upset rural voters.

    I support green policies in general! But this is the IRISH green party, they have been objecting to denser residential development for a start (how awful that their potential voters might have to look at an apartment block v a house or a 5 floor apartment block v a 3 floor one :rolleyes: How typical. What nimby attitude did they adopt with bus connects, the one that offer massive improvements for 100% of citizens, but a fraction of a percent will lose a tiny bit of the front garden, that most dont use! what a greek tragedy! :rolleyes:

    The crayons with dublin metro! the usual BS!

    That's a large part of it. There's a feeling among a lot of Rural Ireland™ that any money spent on Dublin is effectively theft from the rest of the country. They'd rather the money not be spent than spend it on any Dublin infrastructure.

    The government got away with the Luas, Port Tunnel etc. during the celtic tiger because the rest of the country was getting bypasses, motorways, and some new rail lines too.

    I can't see the Soc Dems getting anywhere but I did like what I've seen of their manifesto. It has to be Greens for me, regardless of Eamon's shennanigans I do believe they actually want public transport and cycling infrastructure unlike the other parties, so if the polls are right they could get 10% of the vote, which hopefully might be enough seats to sway some projects to get them going.

    I love this comedy! How much is pouring out of Dublin to rural Ireland. I dont care what rural ireland think, I know for a FACT that dublins transport is near third world, has "rural ireland" ever taken a flight to the continent? what did they think of the transport in a dublin sized city V the big schmoke? :rolleyes:

    they're on 15% in Dublin according to today's poll, which could translate into a lot of seats (their national figure is meaningless as they haven't a hope in many rural areas).

    The Greens have their flaws, and Eamon Ryan is prone to the odd brainfart (reintroducing wolves?) but I believe they're sincere and not in it for the glory. I'll give them a chance and hope they learned something from their last stint when FF basically took them to the cleaners.

    The SDs have some good policies but they don't seem have gained any traction - they're fighting for the same soft-left votes as Labour and Greens and the climate crisis is giving the latter a major boost.

    The next government will be carrying the can for a lot of the important stages of Metrolink: the planning stage (where a lot of vested interests will be throwing mud at the project in the hope of derailing it), procurement (when budget under-estimates could be exposed) and hopefully signing the contract (where any construction problems will be laid at their door). FF could decide to blame any issues on FG, send it back for review and just kick the can.

    After 40 years of can kicking, the thing just needs to be built. If as it looks is a possibility, the Greens get in with either FG or FF, they put the pressure on either party to prioritise public transport. Although I'm skeptical of whether them propping up a government will actually be good for the economy as whole.

    The easiest and most beneficial green movement, is getting people out of cars. Eases congestion and would help environment massively. As transport here is so appalling , there is a lot of low hanging fruit.

    So a roof on Dublin, can't say you are thinking small

    At 15% they are guaranteed a seat in a five-seater, and odds-on for the four-seaters.

    i had a canvasser for the soc dems at the door last night, canvassing for roisin shortall. she seemed happy that someone living so near a proposed metro north station was all in favour of it. i won't say i detected a note of surprise in her voice, but i suspect she got a more negative response about it from some others living nearby.

    The oral hearing will give a platform to all sorts of crackpots and the media will regurgitate their hyperbolic nonsense, giving it way more credibility than it deserves. The consultations are easy enough as they can say "we are still making adjustments and will take that on board", with the the ABP submission, the objectors can't be fobbed off so the gloves will be off. The fun is only about to start.

    define 'nearby' and you have the problem. in that they'd like one within 500m of the house, but not within 200m because of the construction phase.

    I hate saying it, but a key part of the PR campaign for the metro should be letting homeowners know how much the value of their property is likely to increase if located near a metro stop.

    Many residents living nearby drive everywhere and can't even fathom the idea of using public transport. They don't give a **** about public transport. All they care about is the value of their properties.

    We had the same nonsense when the Luas was first proposed. Now residents love it because of increased property values. It's all €€€.

    This is what the letter from the NTA says. They say they "are focusing on the acquisition of battery electric and electric rail fleet."

    "A benefit of this fleet type is that it will allow for the introduction of non-diesel vehicles for DART services on the Northern and South East Lines providing DART service from Drogheda to Greystones without the need for the advance electrification of that line north of Malahide."

    Do they plan to use battery electric north of Malahide until the line is electrified?

    Yes. They also plan on using battery electric while the Kildare lines are being electrified. It's a stopgap. The following generation of DART trains will be all electric again, as the batteries are going to be incredibly heavy and cause the trains to be slower to accelerate.

    FF's proposals to reform BusConnects & Metrolink are some seriously stupid ideas to even think about for any voter living in Dublin right now. Why on earth do FF need to change these projects all over again? Have they not even considered that the electorate have suffered enough already with their constant mistakes? If the original proposals coming from Jarrett Walker was in some way regarded as a failure from Jim O'Callaghan's view on radio during the weekend; In what realistic way do FF think that their way is the better way when it comes to reforming the bus network in Dublin? Do they not realize that if they propose to have another group coming in from another country to reform the bus service in Dublin. They are at risk of having a 'newly proposed' plan that is a whole lot similar to other bus networks in Europe have already for the past number of decades? The major selling point coming from FF is that this new so-called plan is rebranded under a different name but doesn't offer more improvements in it overall as it just offers more of the same stuff as the current iteration of the proposals that are out to the public right now.

    They're doing the exact same thing with Metrolink, however they are not scrapping ML, they will delay the construction date until sometime in 2027 wasting even more time & money with pointless that will be to the detriment of these current voters. E.g. actual members of the public who vote for these parties in the ballot box on polling day. Let ourselves be realistic about FF here. This is just their way of kicking their own can down the road with reforming the bus network when compared to what happened when DU & MN were given 'redesign' proposals under FG & the NTA only a few short years ago. FF are going down a dangerous path of repeating past mistakes all over again when it comes to transport planning in this country without contemplating the backlash from their potential voters who want BusConnects & ML to go ahead as intended. Now having said all of this. I have not heard or read everything in FF's manifesto regarding issues with public transport.

    But some answers to my current questions would give me a good idea of where they are with this issue.

    1) What is FF's stance on Go Ahead providing bus services, under the BMO process here, from Dublin Bus & Bus Eireann?

    2) Are they in favour of getting rid of Go Ahead altogether from the Irish transport sector & hand the routes back to Dublin Bus & Bus Eireann?

    3) Are FF in favour of keeping a cashless bus fare system in place proposed by BusConnects?

    4) What is their stance on a newly proposed flat fare & the free 90 minute transfers between Bus, IE & Luas services provided on the Leap Card?

    5) Are FF committed to introducing more 24 hour bus services provided by Dublin Bus?

    What difference does their stance make? Tendering is required by EU law. GA seems to have bedded in on most of their routes. What is your issue with them?

    Even if you ignore the increase in property values and the person never, ever, ever will use anything but their car to get around, it is still good for them as plenty others in the area or who usually drive through the area will use it and it should reduce traffic for them. But no they'll shout it down because of a few months hassle with construction in the area. So fúcking stupid.
