Eamon Ryan expects plan to ban cars from parts of Dublin city centre by August

Minister for Transport Eamon Ryan said: “I think people are going to see a transformation. They will see a transformation this August when we take the through traffic out of the city centre. That is going to make a huge change in Dublin."

A plan to remove cars from parts of Dublin city centre will be in place by August, Transport Minister Eamon Ryan has said.

Mr Ryan said it is “ridiculous” that the plan to cut both cars and commercial vehicles has taken so long to introduce, pointing to what is happening in other cities around the world.
