Folks,
The Green Party ‘Join the Dots!’ campaign is a campaign that encourages you to write a postcard to the Minister for Transport Seamus Brennan TD encouraging him to link up the two light rail lines that are currently under construction in the center of Dublin.The text of the postcards is reproduced below:
“Dear Minister Brennan,
It seems ludicrous that enormous investment is being spent on building two light rail lines, which do not link up in the city centre. The initial plans showed how easily this could be achieved.
The decision not to connect them resulted from the previous Fianna Fail / Progressive Democrat Government’s failure to providing funding and vision for public transport.
Minister, on behalf of the people of Dublin we ask you to join the dots and connect the two lines.Sincerely,
Name …………………………………………
Address……………………………………..Hey Folks,
lighten up a little.
I didn’t think a little tree hugging would upset you that much.
Look, I agree with 90per cent of the O’Connell Street Plan, the Spire, the wider footpaths, the reduction in traffic, the Luas, etc.
However the intention to chop down ALL the trees was hidden in the very small print of the EIS., around about page 150 if my memories not mistaken.
At this stage all I’m asking for is that the few remaining very mature trees North of the Savoy be retained. Personally I feel that they would compliment
the Integrated Area Plan’s landscaping proposals.
OK?
Ciaran
