Cullen’s transport plan enters a cul de sac

That is completely at odds with an answer to a question I received from the Dublin city manager saying that no consultation has taken place between the Department of Transport and Dublin city council on the issue.

Given the key role that the office of director of traffic presumably would have in any proposed Dublin Transport Authority, it is clear that Mr Cullen’s announcement was just the knee-jerk reaction of a failed minister with no plan, no vision and no commitment to the provision of an integrated transport plan for Dublin.
