I have time to comment now.
First things first, the typos in the bill will be beaten out in the 2 Dáil stages, committee stage and the Seanad.
Mark pm me the typo and I can pass it on to the committee when the time comes by.
If anybody wants to get the gist of the bill then read the memorandum which explains each section in every day language.
The RUI can get in on the act (get it
) at Committee stage and inject some passenger sense into the Authoritys make up.
I think that this new Authority is the best chance that passengers in the Greater Dublin Area have of getting the benefit of a workable transport system. If we want to see the Transport 21 projects actually happen then an Authority with teeth, the ability to make deals, borrow and direct planning is the only hope.
Its too much to hope that you will get enough Ministers along with the interest to implement and follow up the plan. I would imagine that this Bill has given the Interconnector a real chance of being built in or about the proposed date. (rather than being put out by another 10 yrs)
