€3m transport ad campaign a ‘waste of money’

THE opposition has branded the €3 million being spent by the Government on commercials and advertisements for its flagship transport plan as a waste of money.

It has emerged that €2.9m will be spent on promoting Transport 21 this year.

Fine Gael last night said the same amount of money being spent on media campaigning for Transport 21 over the coming years could be used to roll out up to 80 extra double decker buses.
