PQ 75
75. Deputy Mick Wallace asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport his views on the recent projections of the EPA that, rather than reducing, transport emissions are expected to increase by 10% to 12% between 2015 and 2020; in view of the fact that road transport accounts for 95% of total transport emissions here, his further views on whether Government transport policy heavily favours the road system and arguably has the knock-on effect of incentivising private car use over public transport; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
