Greens’ vision on the double

THE Greens launched their Vision for Dublin strategy yesterday, but insisted progress had been made since they launched documents of the same name before the 2004 and 2007 elections.

The documents contain many similar pledges. For example, the 2004 document promised to introduce 20m/h speed limits in residential areas, establish College Green as a “car-free public piazza” and establish a Liffey Valley park.

Similarly, the document launched yesterday promises to “provide speed limits of 30km/h [20m/h] in residential areas”, “provide a car-free College Green” and “create a Liffey Valley national park”.
