Should We Introduce City Congestion Charges To Reduce Emissions?

Congestion charges for Dublin and Cork should be considered by the government to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, that’s according to a new report published yesterday by Environment Minister Eamon Ryan. The charges, already in place in a number of cities around the world, discourage the use of cars in cities. Traffic in London reduced by almost 20 per cent since its introduction in 2003 – so is it time we considered the charge here? To discuss this further we were joined on the show by Environmental Journalist and Commentator John Gibbons. Listen and subscribe to Newstalk Breakfast on Apple Podcasts or Spotify.
