Shane Ross establishing another forum
The Editor,
Letters Page,
The Irish Times.
Dear Editor,
The report (New forum will offer input into trasnport policy 11th July) is truly alarming.
At present there are at least 44 different statutory bodies, charged to one degree or another, with transport in Dublin, never mind the rest of the Country. The last thing we need is a forty fifth one.
Ireland needs one democratic National Transport Authority with one seperate Dublin Transport Authority that would be accountable to the people of Dublin.
It is incredible and disappointing to see the formerly Anti Quango Minister for Transport, Shane Ross, succumbing to the most frequent Civil Service bluster of “establishing a forum”.
Yours sincerely,
Councillor Dermot Lacey
