maybe if Noel Dempsey's department applied a few of their resources to allowing public transport companies run services to serve the citizens of Dublin in a reasonable timeframe and in a reasonable manner ( 41N through m50 tunnel is awaiting clearance for over a year, bus route from Dalkey to Dublin Airport is awaiting a license for over 18 months, CIE companies were not allowed introduce a simpler fare structure at the time of the euro changeover, despite closing the dart lines for over a year at weekends and receiving full planning permission to make all dart stations accessible, the DOT instead of making IE implement this, remove the statement that all dart stations are accessible from transport21)
or maybe if Noel Dempsey's department planned to introduce competition in public transport for the citizens of the country instead of for the providers of public transport.
Or maybe if Noel Dempsey cared enough to give citizens a bit more protection than Irish Rails Charter [1]
or maybe if Noel Dempsey actually gave the rpa a kick in the rear over their chronic under estimation of the demand for their trams services instead of [2] investigating if a longer tram would help...
Then maybe an auld paintjob might do something.
