Re: Re: Metro West

I disagree that it watering down as opposed to a rejection;

The proposal was that an independent body would be set up to regulate transport for Dublin; which basically replicated the DTO position in 1997 in terms of scope and power.

If such a body cannot control land use what use are they i.e. what do they do that the CIE group companies and the RPA do not do?

If they must go to the local authorities they are not independent and other than Dublin City Council transport planning as part of an intergrated sustainable land use control is virtually non-existant.
