Election Debate: Investment In Public Transport
In our daily election debate, we discussed public transport.
With approximately two thirds of the country having to travel to work by car, how should the government invest in improving public transport?
We spoke to Conor Faughnan, Director of Consumer Affairs for AA Ireland, Richard Bruton, Minister of Commuications, Climate Action & Environment and general election candidate for Dublin Bay North, Councillor Patrick Costello, Green Party spokesperson on transport and general election candidate for Dublin South Central, and David Cullinane, Sinn Féin TD for Waterford.
